About the book:
With the Christmas holiday drawing near, Ben Boham becomes more than ever disenchanted with the idea of returning to the small village which is his home. The "city guys" at his school are preparing to return to Accra, to the cinemas and nightclubs, the busy streets and bright lights, to a life-style that Ben has only ever dreamt of.

But then the "guys" invite Ben to join them and to share with them the pleasures of the city. For Ben it is a chance to change fantasy into reality.
