Serwa Boateng's Guide to Witchcraft and Mayhem is the second book in the Serwa Boateng series, a book series under Rick Riordan Presents by Roseanne A. Brown that focuses on Ghanaian mythology. It was released on September 9, 2023.

Synopsis[]

After a lifetime of fighting creatures of black magic, twelve-year-old Serwa Boateng has just learned a devastating secret about herself. Now she’s on the run from the organization of Slayers she trained her whole life to join.

Serwa’s only ally is her aunt Boahinmaa, an obayifo who urges Serwa to embrace black magic. Boahinmaa and her underlings are on the hunt for the Midnight Drum, from which they hope to free Serwa’s grandmother. When they learn that the Abomofuo have hidden the Midnight Drum deep within the Smithsonian Museum of African Art in Washington, D.C., what do they do? Stage a heist to steal it, of course!

For their plan to succeed, Serwa will have to get close to her rival, a Slayer named Declan Amankwah, without revealing her aunt’s plot. Declan gets under her skin like no one else . . . and might just force Serwa to confront some truths she’s tried hard to deny.

With both sympathy and laugh-out-loud humor, Rosanne A. Brown captures all the discomfort of a girl stuck between two worlds in this second book in the unputdownable Serwa Boating saga.
