Set in a Kenyan secondary school, this story follows a disciplined science student who must decide what her integrity is worth when she discovers that merit alone doesn't determine who gets ahead. It gives young adolescents a space to think about justice, loyalty, and the real cost of speaking up, without spoon-feeding them a tidy moral. A warm, honest bedtime read for the child learning that principle and popularity rarely keep the same company.
