Korobá: The Case of the Missing Kolo

Description Share Post Korobá: The Case of the Missing Kolo Àlàbá Ònájìn (Scallywag Press) It’s time to build the funds ahead of the Makoko Harvest Festival. Korobá’s doing this with chores including laying and hauling of  edé traps. In fact, what they might do with their earnings is all that she and her friends, Saidat and Joba, can talk about. After all, Breaking Day, when Makoko’s children break open their individual kolos offers them a chance for new supplies, from school uniform to books! In fact, only only Risi, Saidat’s cousin, visiting from the big city of Lagos, seems unimpressed. Could it be that Risi’s response is all a ruse? That she’s secretly jealous of Saidat and her cousin’s friendships and the activity around Makoko? Or might it be that the furious builder demanding more money might be spurred into action? Korobá considers both, and more, when Saidat discovers her kolo’s been stolen. Korobá: The Case of the Missing Kolo from Àlábá Ònájìn is a graphic novel rich in authenticity. Thereafter, we journey to Korobá’s fishing village to realise the excitement, smell the fish, sight the preparations, and then be part of Korobá’s determined search for answers. Can we help to track down the clues? Bookwagon LOVES this book. In fact, rather like Yelp! Yeti! Chaos in Kathmandu, readers enter a world that’s busy, wonderfully formed, new and active. Bookwagon is so excited to welcome aboard Korobá: The Case of the Missing Kolo, and looks forward to future instalments from Malabo!
