Between Us by Nyangoto Okuro
Mr. Okello is a young, enthusiastic teacher known for his interactive, disciplined, and effective teaching style. Above all, he is a kind and caring individual. When he first entered the classroom, neither he nor his student, Shiku, expected that they would develop feelings for each other. Noticing Shiku's academic struggles, Okello eagerly offers his help. As they interact daily, they begin to open up about their emotions, goals, and dreams, finding comfort in sharing with one another.
At the same time, the school principal, Mr. Mwaniki, faces serious allegations that threaten his career. To deflect attention, he manipulates the situation, using the relationship between Mr. Okello and Shiku as a diversion—and his plan works.

Unfit for Society by Munira Hussein
From the problems of the girls and women grappling with the challenges of living in a patriarchal culture to the allure of terrorist groups, Munira Hussein writing in the voice of what one of her characters describes as the children of the north brings a unique perspective from a region of Kenya which, despite its rich cultural traditions, is mostly associated in the popular imagination, with all the wrong things; violence, insecurity and underdevelopment.
This compelling collection of stories from a young and upcoming writer shows there is more. Written in the exuberant flair of a poet, it celebrates the resilience of a people striving to survive in a harsh and unforgiving environment, the soaring aspirations of the younger generation for a better life and stands as a challenge to society to re-examine its ethos; some of which have clearly been overtaken by time.
Recently shortlisted for the African Writers Award for the short story Powder in the Wind, Ms. Hussein has the grit to curve herself a niche in the literary sphere and Unfit for Society is only but the first word in what promises to be a fruitful writing career.
