      A Girl Called Problem

      Today's Price £6.99



      Product Description

      Thirteen-year-old Shida, whose name means "problem" in Swahili, certainly has a lot of problems in her life -- her father is dead, her depressed mother is rumoured to be a witch, and everyone in her rural Tanzanian village expects her to marry rather than pursue her dream of becoming a healer.

      So when the village's elders make a controversial decision to move their people to a nearby village, Shida welcomes the change. Surely the opportunity to go to school and learn from a nurse can only mean good things?

      However, after a series of puzzling misfortunes plague the new village, Shida must prove to her people that moving was the right decision, and that they can have a better life in their new home.
