A charismatic kid sleuth takes on a case close to home in this critically acclaimed graphic novel series set in a vibrant African fishing community.

Ten-year-old Korobá is the resident detective in Makoko, the Nigerian fishing village where she lives.  

Along with her two best friends (and her adorable dog), she takes on every new case in town—from a missing pair of shoes to a lump of stolen money. Nothing gets past Korobá! By listing suspects, examining evidence, and abiding by the rules of great detectives, she can get to the bottom of any mystery. 

Her latest challenge is the destruction of an important project at their local school. Makoko Primary School was making plans for a new school building, but the stunning wax model, created by the art teacher, gets ruined before they can present it to the town council. Who would do such a thing?! Could it be the jealous math teacher? The bitter cleaning lady? Or maybe a rebellious student…? 

Buckle up, budding mystery fans… It’s time to join Korobá and friends on their thrilling chase for the culprit. With rich, detailed illustrations—featuring some very important clues—and a riveting plot, this one-of-a-kind graphic novel series is a modern day Tintin meets Encyclopedia Brown.
