Ananse and the Web of Stories

The greatest trickster in history finally tricked the wrong gods.

For centuries, Kwaku Ananse has fooled monsters, spirits, humans, and even the mighty Sky God Nyame himself.

He stole stories.
He embarrassed gods.
He turned every impossible challenge into another legendary victory.

Until the gods decided they'd had enough.

Their punishment was supposed to be simple: banish Ananse far into the future where he could never cause trouble again.

There was just one tiny problem.

They accidentally trapped him inside the body of a teenage boy.

Now the once-powerful god of stories must survive his greatest challenge yet:

Middle school.

No magical webs.
No godly tricks.
No escaping homework.

Just annoying teachers, morning chores, smartphones, and a strict guardian, Madam Esi, who absolutely does not care that he "used to be a god."

Even worse, her son Kian thinks Ananse is just the weirdest kid he has ever met.

But when ancient creatures begin appearing and the old stories start disappearing, Ananse discovers the truth:

The gods are fading.

A dark force is stealing humanity's memories of myths, and if the last stories vanish, every god, spirit, and legend will disappear forever.

Now the trickster everyone rejected may be the only one who can save them.

With Kian by his side, Ananse must recover his lost powers, rebuild the Web of Stories, and prove that even the biggest troublemaker can become a hero.

Assuming he survives school first.
