When a gang of armed robbers decided to undertake the biggest bank robbery in Nigeria, they were convinced their plan was failproof; and it was. In less than fifteen minutes, they had taken possession of over one hundred and forty million naira in cash! But the robbery took an unexpected turn when the robbers noticed a photographer across the street taking pictures of their operation. Knowing the danger that the pictures pose, the gang went after the camera, but they got caught up with the police in a shootout and although they eventually escaped, they failed to secure the camera. In the commotion that ensued during the shootout, the camera was misplaced, creating a manhunt for it by the police, the robbers, and the photographer. Will the camera be found, and by who? With the entire country following the unfolding robbery case, all eyes turned to the police chief in charge of the investigation, whose wife is caught up in the web of the investigation, and whose officers may not want the true perpetrators of the robbery to be revealed.

Book Description
A richly imagined magical adventure set in West Africa by a prize-winning new voice in children's writing, Children of the Quicksands introduces readers to Yoruba myths and legends while showcasing the wealth of culture, traditions, adventure, joy, pride, and love found in Nigeria. In a remote Nigerian village, thirteen-year-old Simi is desperate to uncover a family secret. Ajao is nothing like Lagos -- no cells phones, no running water or electricity. Not a single human-made sound can be heard at night, just the noise of birds and animals rustling in the dark forest outside. Her witchlike grandmother dispenses advice and herbal medicine to the village, but she's tight lipped about their family history. Something must have happened, but what? Determined to find out, Simi disobeys her grandmother and goes exploring only to find herself sinking in the red quicksand of a forbidden lake and into the strange parallel world that lies beneath. It must have been a dream... right? Wrong. Something isn’t right. Children are disappearing and it’s up to Simi to discover the truth.
