Goldfields

Moses and his friend, King Kong, set a dorm in their school, Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen, on fire - accidentally of course. Thus it is that the Dorm 3 inmates find themselves camping out in tents by the river and up to their necks in trouble. n nIt is while they are trying to push a tent pole into the stony ground that King Kong digs up a bag containing gold watches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and six cameras in smart brown leather cases! n nNeedless to say, the boys are unable to keep their great discovery to themselves and, before long, they are involved with thieves and with the police as King Kong disappears. n n'Moses the Camper' is the ninth title in the adventures of Barbara Kimenye's mischievous Ugandan schoolboy.

Moses Kibaya has just been expelled from his sixth school. Quite a record for a fifteen-year-old, he feels, and in a way, he is rather proud of it. In fact, his only worry is what his Uncle Silasi is going to do about it ... n nHe soon finds out. And with his arrival at his seventh school, Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen, Moses' troubles begin. n n'Moses' is the first title in the adventures of Barbara Kimenye's mischievous Ugandan schoolboy.

It's half-term. Most of the boys at Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen are going home for the holiday, but Moses and King Kong have a better plan. Why not sneak off and spend the weekend in Tororo, the nearby town, and have some fun by themselves while the staff think they're at home and their families think they are at school? n nIt's a great idea, but, as so often happens with the two friends' great ideas, things tend to go a bit wrong. First of all they meet Finito, a seedy-looking old man, but he's in a remarkably interesting line of business, and he offers the boys a well-paying job. It isn't really their fault that Finito shortly finds his business in ruins and himself on the run from the police. The boys too have their own problems: Mr Karanja, the school's deputy headmaster, is hot on their trail. n n'Moses on the Move' is the seventh title in the adventures of Barbara Kimenye's mischievous Ugandan schoolboy.

Readers of Moses will remember his disastrous first term at Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen. This term, however, Moses is hoping for the best and is looking forward to showing his pet, Mildred, to his friend, King Kong. n nBut things start badly and get worse. There's a new boy, Magara, who is a bully. Then King Kong loses the election for dormitory prefect. Then Mildred disappears... n n'Moses and Mildred' is the second title in the adventures of Barbara Kimenye's irresponsible Ugandan schoolboy.

"A girl student in a place like this would be scandalous!" exclaims Mr Karanja, deputy headmaster of Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen. Mr Mukibi, however, thinks it is a splendid idea and so do the boys when they hear the sensational news. n nMoses and King Kong, who are the first to meet Juli Sekabanja, are not so sure. But Juli has decided that the two friends are just the allies she needs to help her catch a gang of spies she claims to have discovered. Thinking of their share of the reward, they agree. n nBy the end of this hilarious adventure, even Mr Mukibi has changed his mind about the merits of co-education!
