A teenage American boy was dropped in one African village. In an extended stay-in there, he found that for a city bred, an African village environment and nature have aspects that are exciting, and some confounding. He found himself on the watch-out for surprises now and then, amazed, baffled, or scared in other occasions....He saw some things and heard of others in the African village environment unknown to science. He experienced first-hand the traditional extended family culture of Africa, African village environment today, traditional food, hunting and fishing, traditional prosecution and attendant drama, native justice..., He got the facts and fiction on spirit creatures and witchcraft in Africa; chilling incidents and accounts! He listened to stories of long past European atrocities and plundering in Africa. From a septuagenarian story-teller, he heard accounts of why some African countries are rife in crisis or volatile today. Who dropped and left him in Africa? Andre was stubborn and troublesome both at home and at school. His high school teachers' reports on him were getting worse. What would the parents do to prevent him from becoming a gangster, and maybe save his life? His white father and a mum of African roots decided to send him to his mum's root village in the River Niger Delta in Africa - to be tamed; many teenagers are sent like that to African villages from the cities and western world for the same reason. Here is an adventure-like fictional experience of one, typical of usual experiences of city bred kids sent to African villages. The book is an engrossing fictional narrative of what he saw, heard, witnessed and experienced in the African village; an exciting adventure narrative. He was tamed. What tamed him before he returned to the U.S? It is a narrative that will keep the pages turning to the very end. A picture of what a city bred or any one from the western world may see on ground in a typical African village today.
