\"Three<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A visitor,
a theft,
a mystery to solve! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Korob\u00e1 enjoys exploring the waterways and walkways of her Nigerian fishing village with best friends Saldat and Joba – and her dog Popi, of course!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During school holidays, the ten-year-old helps her mother at the fish market (but can’t stand eating fish). Someday her little brother and baby sister will, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The harvest festival is soon, and the kids of Makoko will break open their wooden Kolo banks and use their saved coins to buy clothes for the Festival\u2026and treats! Joba will unveil his newest invention then, so don’t even try to sneak a peek now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saldat has been too busy noting how much money she’s put in her Kolo to decorate it with paint and beads like her friends do. Her snobbish cousin visiting from city thinks everything here is terrible – such a bad attitude!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, no! Saldat’s Kolo has been stolen! The three friends must think like detectives from their favorite books to find it – fast!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Was it the carpenter working at Saldat’s house?
Could it be snooty cousin Risi?
Can they find the Kolo before Breaking Day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run the wooden walkways of Makoko village with Korob\u00e1 and her friends as they try to solve the mystery, first in a new graphic novel series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s your favorite festival tradition?
