Students from St Constantine’s School in Arusha read some early drafts of these books. Here is what they made of it:
- What do you think of the story so far?
‘I’m stuck to the book I just can’t stop reading it.’
‘I think the story is good so far and there has been a good hook. I want to read more because this is an African story.’
‘It is filled with suspense, mystery and science. I would like to read more of the book. I personally feel that people must read this book.’
‘It is very different from the books I’ve read, as I haven’t read many books like this but this book is very enhancing and overall I would love to continue it.’
‘First of all I would like to say how I really like the book, the story is interesting. The beginning was very hooking . . . The beginning definitely got me wanting to read more. The way the author also incorporated some kiswahili made the book more lively.’
- What are your first impressions of the characters?
‘The characters are caring – especially the big sisters, my favourite character is Samti.’
‘Mama Leo is my favourite character because she stands as the mama wolf protecting her cubs.’
‘What I like about the characters that have been introduced is that I can tell that this story is an African story and the names of the characters are african names and my favourite characters are auntie Jacki and Meera.’
‘My favourite character is Babu because I find him funny.’
‘My first impression of Samti was that she was a hard headed female with a lot of courage she kinda reminds me of Astrid from how to train your dragon which is why I like her.’
- To make this story even better, I would change …
‘Nothing, because the story is really nice and i like everything and mostly i like how he used African people and European people to make the story.’
‘Nothing! It’s perfect.’
‘What about if you like the story as it is ??’
‘The story is so good and interesting I can’t even think of anything that I would change. I love ❤ this book I’m sure others will too.’
