Ten-year-old Korobá knows everyone in Makoko, the Nigerian fishing village where she lives. She knows her way up and down the bright, colorful waterways, knows where to sell fried shrimp, and knows what to look for at the crowded daily market. Makoko is her playground, and she roams free with her best friends, Saidat and Joba, and her adorable dog, Popi.
The last thing Korobá would expect in Makoko is a thief. Yet Saidats wooden piggy bankher Kolohas been stolen. The children of Makoko save coins in their Kolo all year long, waiting to spend their money at the annual harvest festival. Saidat saved and saved, but now she will have nothing. Its not fair!
Korobá knows what good detectives do…. Should the primary suspect be Saidats grumpy cousin, visiting on vacation? Or could it be the village carpenter, who has been doing some work on Saidats house? It’s up to Detective Korobá to catch the thief and find the missing Kolo before Breaking Day!
