Such a Beautiful Thing to Behold by Umar Turaki

I assume this takes place in some small fictional town in Africa (I tried "searching the web" for the village names and got nothing), but that's purely based on the dreadlocks that were mentioned a couple of times. I also assume it is some time present or future bc there was mention of phone chargers. It was frustrating to me to not have a handle on the setting. The Grey being contained to this one small village felt like a major plot hole and the resolution at the end seemed too convenient. I did like the way the kids created a new family, but overall I just found it boring and unbelievable.
