Moses and the Penpal
KShs460.00
Nuria Ranking: #5 in Secondary (8-4-4)The craze for writing to penpals sweeps Mukibi’s Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen. Anywhere else, this would be a harmless enough hobby but at Mukibi’s, even a letter can be dynamite. And, not surprisingly, Moses and King Kong are right in the middle of the explosion.
n
nThen there is the new boy, Kasali, who has an unusual hobby of his own. Hidden in the dormitory, he’s set up a strange contraption for making wine. Everyone in Dorm 3 agrees it is very good wine, and that Kasali has a bright future ahead of him in the liquor business. Perhaps he has … but before Kasali’s wine makes him a fortune, it’s destined to play a remarkable role in the history of Mukibi’s Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen.
n
n‘Moses and the Penpal’ is the eighth title in the adventures of Barbara Kimenye’s mischievous Ugandan schoolboy.

Moses on the Move
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.

Glass Houses
Kito Makato, now the undisputed head of his family, is in for a rude awakening. Things are fast getting out of hand on the home front as his wife of twelve years, Kawira, discovers that ‘there is no peace without truth’ and, under pressure from an old friend, decides to lay bare her controversial past. Arguing that ‘God made woman to keep recreating her man over and over again’ and that ‘No man is a hero to his wife; even if she is a bushwoman,’ Kawira, a woman on several missions, uses silence; persuasion, threats, wit, sarcasm and whatever other ammunition she can think of to puncture all the bubbles thrown in her way. So, is anyone out there bold enough to throw stones into her territory ‘when we all live in glasshouses’?
