Set in the oil-rich town of Warri in Delta State, The Dimpsey Chronicles follows the antics and escapades of five-year old Efeturi Johnson, fondly called “Dimpsey” and who we are told “was born into a world of grown-ups”. Blessed with a cute set of dimples which endears her to everyone, Dimpsey soon discover that flashing her dimpled smile will not always get her out of trouble. From becoming an overnight musical sensation at home, using her birthday gift as a money-spinner in school, breaking school rules, missing out on a much anticipated sleepover and being a founding member of her school’s very first singing group, Dimpsey learns that for every action there is an ensuing consequence. The first in a series for younger readers, but with a family appeal. The Dimpsey Chronicles provides readers through easily visual imagery a detailed background of the culture, children’s games and social behavior of the people of South-south Nigeria. But beyond entertaining, The Dimpsey Chronicles also educates through different learning opportunities skillfully woven into its tapestry
