Summary
"Andrew Aziza is an unusually smart fifteen-year-old in Kontagora, Nigeria. He lives with his fiercely protective mother, Gloria, and fantasizes obsessively about white girls -- especially blondes. When he's not in church, at school, or hanging about town wishing to become one of “Africa's first superheroes,” he's contemplating the larger questions with his equally brilliant friend Fatima, a Hausa-Fulani girl who has feelings for him. Sure enough, the reluctantly nicknamed Andy Africa soon falls hopelessly and inappropriately in love with the first white girl he lays eyes on: Eileen. But at the church party held to celebrate her arrival, multiple crises loom"--, Novelist
