When thirteen-year-old Tola Matthews boards the school bus for a football tournament, he has no idea his life is about to change forever. What begins as an exciting road trip with his teammates turns into a nightmare when their bus is hijacked by armed men led by the ruthless Colonel Jogba.
Separated from his family and forced into a rebel camp deep in the African jungle, Tola faces his greatest challenge yet. To survive, he must rely on courage, faith, and his mastery of intonga, the traditional African art of stick fighting. As he resists indoctrination and plans a daring escape with his friends, Tola discovers that true leadership means standing firm in his values-even when the cost is freedom itself.
Meanwhile, Tola's parents launch a desperate search, uncovering a network of corruption and violence that threatens not only their son but the entire nation of Ilanga.
Escaping the Future continues the gripping Tola Matthews Series, blending adventure, survival, faith, and family bonds in a powerful story that will captivate middle grade and young adult readers. Perfect for fans of The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, Hatchet, and Percy Jackson, this novel delivers a fast-paced and emotional journey of courage, hope, and resilience.
