When Adunni grows up, she wants to become a teacher so she can inspire young Nigerian girls to find their "louding voices" and build a future they choose for themselves. But she needs to get an education first. Despite insurmountable obstacles, family drama, poverty, and sexism, Adunni is determined to do what it takes to go to school.

LOUDING VOICE is a moving story with a unique narrative written from Adunni's perspective who uses colloquial and “broken” English. Even though the book contains details such as child abuse, trafficking, and sexual assault, the stories are told through Adunni's innocent voice, and her English dialect adds authenticity to the tale. LOUDING VOICE brings me through all the emotions of anger, sadness, happiness, and inspiration, and I find myself rooting for Adunni and her dream every step of the way. On the themes featuring resilient children, THE ATTIC CHILD (Lola Jaye) comes to mind and will make a great companion read.
