In the Caribbean island of Antigua, eleven-year-old Corinne La Mer faces the legacy of her ancestors and the haunting terrors that lurk beneath the surface of her daily life. When the Jumbies, vengeful spirits of African slaves, threaten to take away her family, Corinne must confront the darkness within herself and find the strength to protect her loved ones. Guided by the wisdom of Miss Maeve, an elderly spirit-keeper, Corinne discovers the power of her own voice and the importance of standing up for what is right. As she unravels the secrets of her family's past, she learns that the Jumbies are not just monsters in the night, but symbols of the pain and oppression her ancestors endured. With courage and determination, Corinne confronts the Jumbies and emerges as a fearless protector of her community. The Jumbies is a powerful and haunting tale that explores the themes of ancestry, identity, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
