GRASS TO GRACE-New Young Adult and Children Novel

THE PROLOG OF GRASS TO GRACE
  The story is all about three young people resident in the rural and urban parts of a state in Western Nigeria. It is a story that spotlights the poverty and misfortune that plagues most rural parts of Africa, and how these children fought against the limitations of these to rise to the top. Kunle and Bisi are siblings and children of Mr and Mrs Taiwo, and Abayomi is their closest friend. Inspite of their poverty, the parents of Kunle and Bisi, taught their children to be hard working, as this, they believed was the way to success.
    Owing to their poverty, Mr and Mrs Taiwo had to work very hard to train their children. And Kunle and Bisi had to work really hard to stay in school and be successful.Paying their tuition was thus hard. However, luckily for them, the Oxford University of Britain offered to give scholarship awards to students who performed well in their final high school exams. This was their opportunity to become great in life.
     Although Bisi, Kunle, and Abayomi faced bullies like Gbenga, and his friends who were never serious, they were still hard working. Gbenga's parents were rich, and so he became proud because of that. But his friends, Eze and Kole came from poor homes, but they were deceived by Gbenga and also turned out to be unserious with their school work.
    After their final high school exams, Bisi, Kunle, and Abayomi performed brilliantly and won the scholarship awards to study at Oxford University of Britain. Kunle hoped to be a medical doctor, Abayomi loved the field of Engineering, and for Bisi, Accounting was her desire. But for the bullies, Gbenga, Kole, and Eze, they were expelled from school for cheating in their final exams. Kole and Eze cried because they had been deceived and had lost their chances of being well educated. Moreover, they did not have rich parents like Gbenga who would easily get them into another school. They learnt their lessons the hard way.
    Also while Kunle, Bisi, and Abayomi were studying in London, Mr. and Mrs. Taiwo separated. They were no longer married to each other. This affected Kunle and Bisi's studies that they started failing and their scholarships were withdrawn. Kunle joined gangsters on the streets of London, and Bisi became a cheap prostitute. However, with Abayomi's help, they realized their mistakes, got serious again, and had their scholarships restored. Their parents als got back together again. The three actualized their dreams, and graduated successfully. They also received money awards from the British and United States government. And finally, and interestingly, Abayomi got married to Bisi, his best friend Kunle's sister, and they had a son. The story ended happily with Bisi and Abayomi living  together, and Kunle setting up his own medical center.
