Overview

When the classroom ends, learning begins. In a small Nigerian town, seventeen-year-old Yemi Olugbuyi is forced out of school by hardship, but not out of hope. With the guidance of Kummel, a young drug dispensary owner, and Chidiebere, a spirited friend who believes in his potential, Yemi discovers the true meaning of the adage, ""You swallow bitter pills with your eyes closed."" Yemi's Out-of-School Days is a warm, human story of self-discovery, resilience, and the power of learning in unlikely places. Set against the rhythm of everyday Nigerian life, it captures the spirit of mentorship, youthful perseverance, and the quiet triumph of the self-taught. Told in vivid prose and gentle humour, Michael Ovie's didactic novel belongs beside African classics like Eze Goes to School and Chike and the River - stories that remind us that the truest education begins with hunger for knowledge and the courage to continue. A timeless story for readers of all ages who believe that learning never ends.
