Where's Jamela? by Niki Daly
Mama and Gogo are tremendously excited about the new house they are moving to, but Jamela likes where they are and doesn t want to go. She starts putting her books and school things into a box, but eventually gives up, packs herself away and goes off to sleep. And just when the big truck is about to drive off, Mama suddenly shouts, Wait, wait! Where s Jamela? Mrs Zibi, Greasy Hands and even Christmas the chicken make an appearance in this delightful new African township story in which Jamela finally discovers that there s no place like home.
