Naserian notices the county's official fish-catch data has been frozen for years while the real tilapia vanish. She recruits fishers, builds her own sampling record, and files a formal challenge against a decade-old protocol no one has questioned. A quietly urgent Kenyan story about what it costs to make a number mean something, and why a Grade 9 reader, standing at their own pathway crossroads, will recognise the weight of choosing to act when no one is watching.
Off the Transect
At Lake Naivasha, one girl's quiet numbers take on a system that stopped counting the truth years ago.
