A SONG FOR JAMELA

by Niki Daly

Frances Lincoln, hardback, £11.99

Jamela's day of boredom at home turns to one of great excitement when she is asked to help out at Aunt Beauty's hairdressing salon. She can't believe her eyes when the Afro-Idols contestant Miss Bambi Chaka Chaka makes a glamorous entrance. Potential disaster ensues when Miss Chaka Chaka's hairdo is ruined. Can Jamela save the day? This, the fifth book about Jamela's life in an African township, displays all the humour and charm of the previous stories.
