In our world, there are many tough challenges we deal with every day. Sometimes, these struggles stay hidden, especially from young people. But in this book, we shine a light on them. We talk about the problems we don’t always talk about, and we do it in a simple way.
We don’t just talk about the tough stuff, though. We also talk about love in our society. But we don’t just stop there. We also talk about something important: how boys sometimes get left out because people pay more attention to girls. This hurts boys, and we need to talk about it.
So, join us on a journey to uncover the hidden struggles, to understand love, and to speak up for the boys who need our help. Let’s make our society a better place, one word at a time.

First and Last word by J G Nyamu
Brief Summary
It has covered fifteen other powerful statesmen and ordinary people who stepped into higher levels of achievement and excellence through the use of words History of the last century and the first decade of this century would be awfully incomplete without the great destiny-making story of the big trio which relegated communism to the ash heap of history- Reagan, Thatcher and Saint Pope Paul II.
Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiongo
Brief Summary
From the exiled Kenyan novelist, playwright, poet, and literary critic--a magisterial comic novel that is certain to take its place as a landmark of postcolonial African literature. In exile now for more than twenty years, Ngugi wa Thiongo has become one of the most widely read African writers of our time, the power and scope of his work garnering him international attention and praise.
His aim in Wizard of the Crow is, in his own words, nothing less than "to sum up Africa of the twentieth century in the context of two thousand years of world history.” Commencing in "our times” and set in the "Free Republic of Aburiria,” the novel dramatizes with corrosive humor and keenness of observation a battle for control of the souls of the Aburirian people. Among the contenders: His High Mighty Excellency; the eponymous Wizard, an avatar of folklore and wisdom; the corrupt Christian Ministry; and the nefarious Global Bank.
Fashioning the stories of the powerful and the ordinary into a dazzling mosaic, Wizard of the Crow reveals humanity in all its endlessly surprising complexity. Informed by richly enigmatic traditional African storytelling, Wizard of the Crow is a masterpiece, the crowning achievement in Ngugl wa Thiongo’s career thus far.

My Life in Crime by John Kiriamiti
The late 1960's and early '70s may be remembered as the years of the great bank and other armed robberies in Kenya. This is the true story of one of the participants in some of those robberies, John Kiriamit. In raw and candid language, Kiramiti tells the story of how he dropped out of secondary school when he was only fifteen years old, and for a time became a novice pickpocket, before graduating into crimes like car-breaking and ultimately into violent robbery.
This spell-binding story takes the reader into the underworld of crime, and it depicts graphically the criminal's struggle for survival against the forces of law.
