Achieng and her three best friends have built a thriving school snack business, tracking every shilling in a blue exercise book. When a talent show prize tempts them to raid their carefully saved Science Fair fund, Achieng must decide whether being right is worth being alone. A warm, honest story that speaks to the CBC learner's world of entrepreneurship, financial planning, and the real cost of standing by your principles.
