When Yemi's father can no longer afford his school fees, the classroom doors close - but his education is only just beginning.
Left in the care of Kummel, a neighborhood pharmacist studying toward his own medical school entrance exam, Yemi discovers that the sharpest lessons aren't always taught within four walls. Between dispensing drugs on a bustling Ikorodu street and quizzing Yemi under a mango tree, Kummel hands him the tools that matter most: how to concentrate, how to remember, how to face an exam without falling apart.
Left in the care of Kummel, a neighborhood pharmacist studying toward his own medical school entrance exam, Yemi discovers that the sharpest lessons aren't always taught within four walls. Between dispensing drugs on a bustling Ikorodu street and quizzing Yemi under a mango tree, Kummel hands him the tools that matter most: how to concentrate, how to remember, how to face an exam without falling apart.
But school fees are the least of what's fracturing Yemi's world. His father is entangled in a conflict that threatens his standing in the church that raised him, his stepmother's resentment is boiling toward betrayal, and Yemi is caught in the middle of it all - determined to sit his WAEC exams and become the boy his community remembers, no matter what collapses around him.
Yemi's Out-of-School Days is a warm, unflinching coming-of-age novel about mentorship, memory, and the belief that real learning happens wherever someone is willing to teach, and wherever someone is hungry enough to listen.
For readers of resilience, faith, family, and the unglamorous, unforgettable work of growing up.
