A new graphic novel series reminiscent of Tintin, set in a vibrant African community.
Ten-year-old Koroba knows everyone in Makoko, the Nigerian fishing village where she lives. Between doing chores for her mother, she roams free with her best friends, Saidat and Joba, and her adorable dog, Popi. The last thing Koroba would expect in Makoko is a thief. Yet Saidat's wooden piggy bank has been stolen! Buckle up, budding mystery fans... It's time to join Koroba and friends on their thrilling chase for the culprit.
'This accessible introduction into young detective Koroba's world is both narratively efficient and visually exquisite; a promising start to a planned series of graphic mysteries.'School Library Journal'This is an intriguing look at everyday life in a small African community we might not otherwise know. The characters are rich and memorable, and Alaba Onajin has created a totally believable world in an enjoyable, consistent style. We need more African stories.' KEN WILSON-MAX
