| Summary/Abstract |
The school holiday should be fun for Leonard, but he is stuck at home in his hometown of Acca, far away from where his friends from school live. His Nana is not much fun and his father is almost always away at work, leaving Leonard feeling lonely and bored. Looking to eke some fun out of the holiday, Leonard hops a tro-tro bus to Elmina, a historic European fort built to imprison slaves before they were shipped off to the Americas. Not only does Elmina attract many tourists, it also attracts street children and gangs. Before Leonard knows what is happening, he's kidnapped by the toughest gang of all, who plans to use his angelic face to fleece tourists. A thought-provoking Ghanaian story, set in the poverty-driven underworld of gangs.

| Summary/Abstract |
Angels and Demons’ is a plot where a globally celebrated scientist, Leonardo Vetra of CERN Institute, Switzerland is killed and a mystifying symbol is branded into his torso. The Vatican, Rome: The College of Cardinals has gathered for deciding upon a new Pope. Underneath the gathering lies a bomb which is extremely powerful and is persistently reckoning towards destruction. Professor Robert Langdon of Harvard has to decode a complex track consisting of some prehistoric symbols in order to overpower people who are guilty. He is stunned upon coming to terms with the fact that Illuminati, a secret society that was declared as vanished some 400 years ago, is still very much into action, as their ancient symbol was the one that was found on the dead scientist’s chest. The main goal of Illuminati has always been to go against the Catholic Church and its preaching. So, Langdon and Vittoria, who is Vetra’s daughter set upon a thrilling search in order to hunt for that particular nucleon.
