Description

She returned home to build the future.
Instead, she found herself helping destroy it.

Zuri Odhiambo left the shores of Lake Victoria to become one of the brightest young minds in artificial intelligence.

At twenty-four, she returns to her grandmother’s village believing she can finally build something for her people—only to discover a foreign lithium project swallowing ancestral land, a childhood love turned revolutionary, and her own software quietly repurposed into a weapon of surveillance.

As multinational investors, political elites, and digital empires tighten their grip on the region, Zuri is forced to confront a devastating truth:

the systems she once believed would liberate Africa may be the very systems helping to erase it.

Caught between loyalty and ambition, memory and progress, love and betrayal, Zuri must decide how much of herself she is willing to sacrifice to stop a future she helped create.

Unmanageable is a haunting literary novel about identity, power, and the cost of belonging in a world where even hope can be weaponized.

Ama and the Drumbeat of Home

African Interest
KShs499.00 KShs350.00
This story follows a child who learns that cultural identity is portable. You can leave your village, cross borders, enter unfamiliar spaces—and still carry your home within you. This is the Ubuntu philosophy in action: "I am because we are," but also, "We are because I remember." In an era where African children increasingly navigate between traditional spaces and global ones, this story offers a bridge. It says: You do not have to choose between worlds. You can be a child of the village and a citizen of the world, because the drumbeat travels with you. May this story find its way into classrooms from Lagos to Nairobi, from Kumasi to Kinshasa—and may every child who reads it hear their own rhythm more clearly.

UNMASKED: The High Achiever’s Blueprint Deconstructing the Psychology of Exceptional Performance

Personal Growth and Development
KShs999.00 KShs930.00

The first movement of UNMASKED is a clinical descent into the structural integrity of your current life. We begin with a brutal premise: Most high achievers are living in a "furnished emptiness." You have built a skyscraper of success on a foundation of sand. This section introduces the Performance Pyramid, a five-level diagnostic framework that maps the exact coordinates of your achievement-identity fusion. We don't just ask what you have achieved; we ask why you had to achieve it to feel safe.

The core of this archaeology is identifying the Success Paradox. You have spent years believing that the next milestone would provide the "peace" or "arrival" you crave, only to find that each peak reveals a higher, more exhausting mountain. This isn't a failure of effort; it is a failure of Identity Infrastructure. We use the Achievement-Identity Fusion Scale (AIFS) to quantify how much of your psychological oxygen is currently rented from external validation. This section forces a "Recognition Commitment"—an acknowledgment that your current operating system is designed for output, not for the human being responsible for that output.

Zuri and the Mobile Market

Books
KShs500.00 KShs400.00
A devastating flood. A broken community. One girl with a big idea. Eleven-year-old Zuri Wanjiku loves the vibrant chaos of Nairobi, but when a catastrophic flood tears through the city, the heartbeat of her community—the Gikomba Market—falls silent. The waters don't just wash away stalls; they sever the vital links between urban traders and the rural farmers, like Zuri’s grandmother in Kiambu, who feed the city. As the supply chains break and the shelves go empty, Zuri realizes that the solution isn't found in expensive gadgets or Silicon Valley apps. Inspired by the historical rhythms of African communication—from the ancestral beat of the ngoma drum to the modern revolutionary spirit of M-Pesa—Zuri and her tech-savvy friend Juma set out to build something revolutionary: Soko Mpya (The New Market). Using only basic feature phones and the power of SMS technology, Zuri leads a digital revolution rooted in the ancient spirit of Ubuntu—the belief that I am because we are. But building the code is only half the battle. To succeed, Zuri must navigate the skepticism of market elders, the logistics of boda boda (motorcycle) delivery networks, and the reality that true innovation is about people, not just platforms. Why Middle-Grade Readers, Parents, and Educators Will Love Zuri: • Real-World Heroism: Features a relatable young protagonist who uses empathy, observation, and logic to solve a community crisis. • The Silicon Savannah: Offers a rare, authentic look at African innovation, digital finance, and social entrepreneurship. • Intergenerational Wisdom: A touching story about the bond between a tech-forward granddaughter and a wisdom-keeping grandmother. • STEM with Heart: An exciting introduction to systems thinking, design iteration, and "frugal innovation" for ages 8–12. Zuri and the Mobile Market is a high-stakes adventure that proves you don't need a high-tech lab to change the world—you just need the courage to look at your own community and ask, "How can I help?" The future of technology is African. And Zuri is leading the way.

What to Expect When You’re Expecting by Heidi Murkoff

Books, Parenting
KShs3,500.00 KShs3,290.00
Announcing a brand new, cover-to-cover revision of America's pregnancy bible. What to Expect When You're Expecting is a perennial New York Times bestseller and one of USA Today's 25 most influential books of the past 25 years. It's read by more than 90% of pregnant women who read a pregnancy book--the most iconic, must-have book for parents-to-be, with over 14.5 million copies in print. Now comes the Fourth Edition, a new book for a new generation of expectant moms--featuring a new look, a fresh perspective, and a friendlier-than-ever voice. It's filled with the most up-to-date information reflecting not only what's new in pregnancy, but what's relevant to pregnant women. Heidi Murkoff has rewritten every section of the book, answering dozens of new questions and including loads of new asked-for material, such as a detailed week-by-week fetal development section in each of the monthly chapters, an expanded chapter on pre-conception, and a brand new one on carrying multiples. More comprehensive, reassuring, and empathetic than ever, the Fourth Edition incorporates the most recent developments in obstetrics and addresses the most current lifestyle trends (from tattooing and belly piercing to Botox and aromatherapy). There's more than ever on pregnancy matters practical (including an expanded section on workplace concerns), physical (with more symptoms, more solutions), emotional (more advice on riding the mood roller coaster), nutritional (from low-carb to vegan, from junk food–dependent to caffeine-addicted), and sexual (what's hot and what's not in pregnant lovemaking), as well as much more support for that very important partner in parenting, the dad-to-be. Overflowing with tips, helpful hints, and humor (a pregnant woman's best friend), this new edition is more accessible and easier to use than ever before. It's everything parents-to-be have come to expect from What to Expect... only better.

Reckless

Books, Romances & Thrillers
KShs895.00 KShs851.00
Once upon a time, Tracy Whitney was one of the best thieves in the business. Then she settled down and had a child—a beautiful, bright, mischievous boy who was the center of her life. Tracy planned to spend the rest of her days quietly, living anonymously deep in the stunning Colorado mountains, devoted to raising her son. But tragedy forces her to face her greatest nightmare. Now, with nothing left to protect, this superb con artist, jewel thief, computer wizard, and cat burglar returns to the hunt, more dangerous, ruthless, and reckless than ever. The world faces a new terror threat from Group 99, a diverse collection of global hackers intent on the collapse of capitalism and private wealth and the creation of a new world order. When the group turns to violence—kidnapping an American investigative journalist, shooting a British military hostage, and blowing up an international industrialist—the mysterious woman pulling their strings, a wily and wealthy American known only as Althea, becomes the CIA’s most sought criminal. But their only hope of finding her is a woman with a dark and dangerous past of her own. A woman who has also successfully evaded detection by the authorities around the world: Tracy. Convinced that Althea is behind the deadly act that shattered her life, Tracy sets out on a global hunt to flush out her prey. But as she soon discovers, the truth is as elusive as her target. Hampered by corruption, lies, and enemies masked as allies, Tracy will be pushed to the brink, where she must face her darkest demons. All of her experience tells Tracy that the answers are right in front of her—if only she can look at the clues in the right way. Propelled by an unquenchable thirst for revenge, and with the fate of so many resting in her hands, just how reckless will Tracy become when she has nothing left to lose? An addictive tale of espionage, mystery, passion, greed, betrayal, and vengeance that takes you from the beautiful Rocky Mountains to Europe’s oldest and grandest cities, filled with a cast of intriguing characters both new and familiar, Sidney Sheldon’s Reckless is a glamorous thrill ride that will leave you breathless until its shocking end."

Hot Flat and Crowded by Thomas Friedman

Books, Energy
KShs1,699.00 KShs1,615.00
Brief Summary Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America. Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In this Release 2.0 edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession. The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources. Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.

A rich deposit of valuable minerals have been found in the Hermit Kingdom. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage.
