On Tuesday, 18th June 2025, Year 5 Junior School student of Ghana International School, Lady Megan Amoah, officially launched her debut novel, Twin Trouble: Lost in Paris, at a private event hosted by her family. Written at age nine and launched at age ten, the book is a testament to her creativity, discipline, and drive.
During the launch, Lady Megan read an excerpt from her novel, impressing guests with her confidence and maturity. The story, centred on two sisters navigating a whirlwind of adventures in Paris, captured the audience with its humour, emotion, and imagination.
The event was attended by several distinguished guests, including the Chief of Staff, Hon. Julius Debrah; Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu; Sir Sam Jonah; the First Lady, United Denomination of Lighthouse Group of Churches, Episcopal Sister Mrs. Adelaide Heward-Mills; the Vice Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo; Ambassador Michael Oquaye Jr.; and Members of Parliament. Also in attendance was a member of the GIS Board, Dr. Sange Delle, the Vice Principal of the Junior School, Ms. Bruce-Muller, along with her Teachers and Friends. Their presence highlighted the national significance of Megan’s achievement and the importance of encouraging young talent.
In their remarks, speakers praised Megan’s accomplishment and the powerful message it sends to young people, particularly girls, about the value of storytelling and the possibilities that come with early support and encouragement. Professor Appiah Amfo urged young girls to share their talents boldly while staying grounded in their identity and culture.
Though privately organised, the launch was a moment of national inspiration. Lady Megan’s achievement reflects the values fostered at Ghana International School and stands as a proud example of what young minds can achieve when nurtured and empowered.
Twin Trouble: Lost in Paris is now available, and this marks only the beginning of Lady Megan’s journey as a writer and changemaker.
