Life on Corinne's island will never be the same again.
In three action-packed adventures drawn from Caribbean and West African folklore, Corinne La Mer discovers how real jumbies are and how dangerous they can be. Across the forbidden forest, deep beneath the waves, and through the eye of a hurricane, Corinne must rely on her wits, courage, and friendship, as well as her own secret magic, to protect her family and friends from chaos.
Read Corinne's heroic tales in:
- The Jumbies
- Rise of the Jumbies
- The Jumbie God's Revenge
