Year 9 Author Visit- Dami Edun

Recently year 9 were treated to a surprise visit from Dami Edun, a past student of Chadwell Heath Academy.

Dami has recently published his new book called ‘Ogaman’ and came to discuss the story and how we all have difficult choices to make.

What is Ogaman about?

Tundé Adeyemi is just another British Nigerian teenager in a dystopian, poverty-stricken London, struggling with school bullies and the harsh realities of his family’s living conditions. But when a chain of chaotic events grants him extraordinary powers, Tundé seizes the chance to change his life and chase his desires—only to find that power comes with a heavy price.

As his choices lead to tragic consequences, a much darker force threatening the city emerges. Caught between doing what's right and his thirst for vengeance, Tundé must confront not only the enemies outside, but the battle within himself.

Will he become the hero that's needed or the villain that succumbs as London’s fate hangs in the balance?

Dami gave away two signed copies to students listening very carefully in the assembly. He also very kindly donated two copies of ‘Ogaman’ for the school library. Be sure to come and read it!

Dami will be visiting again soon- Can anyone who reads ‘Ogaman’ do a book review/display poster, in time for the next visit? Please see Mrs Rayit for details.
