"Twins Eddie and Nosa Osagie have one golden rule: NEVER enter Baba's study when he's not home. But when Grandpa Sunny's birthday party beckons, their curiosity gets the best of them. All they want is to play soccer with the mysterious ball in the study. Sneaking through the office seemed harmless... until they knocked over a dusty bronze vase, releasing the mischievous trickster spirit, Eshu! Chaos ensues as Eshu wreaks havoc throughout the neighborhood. Now, Eddie and Nosa are on a mission to track down the trickster, end his pranks, and secretly return him to the vase in the office. Can they defeat Eshu before Grandpa Sunny's guests arrive? Or will Baba uncover their secret snooping?" -- publisher
