An African fantasy-adventure graphic novel inspired by the mythology of the Zambezi River and the history of the Kariba Dam, one of the largest dams ever constructed.
Siku has always called the Zambezi River her home. She understands the water – and strangely enough, it seems to understand her, too, bending to her will and coming to her aid in times of need. But things are changing on the river – a great dam is being built, displacing thousands of Shonga people – and things are changing in Siku, too, as her ability to manipulate water grows out of control, and visions of a great serpent pull her further from reality and her loving father, Tongai.
When Tongai ventures to the Kariba Dam to find a cure for Siku and never returns, she sets off to find him with the help of Amedeo, the young son of Kariba’s chief engineer. Together, they traverse elephant graveyards, rugged jungles, and ancient ruins, outrunning pirates, bootleggers, and shape-shifting prophets ready to use Siku to their own advantage. But she soon discovers that her father has been shielding a terrible secret: Siku is actually the daughter of Nyaminyami, the Great River Spirit, and the only way to bring about the necessary rumuko – a ritual which has brought balance to the Zambezi for centuries – is for Siku to give up the only life she’s ever known.
With the future of the Shonga resting on her shoulders, Siku must journey to the source of the river to understand the ancient power hidden within her.

Have you ever had to deal with a screaming child, an obnoxious
teenager or a class of 30 exuberant eight year olds? The Little
Book Of Behaviour is amusing and informative, full of tried and
tested strategies, suggestions and entertaining anecdotes. With
jargon kept to a minimum, this insightful pocket guide has been
written by a diagnosed dyslexic, who is passionate about
understanding the causes and consequences of human behaviour. The
author has a very real understanding of behaviour born from
firsthand experience, having found traditional learning difficult
and being completely misunderstood at school. "You see it was easy
for me to help others who were feeling massively overwhelmed
because I had been there." During his following years working with
people from a whole range of backgrounds including learning
difficulties, emotional and behavioural problems and mainstream
school children, he has analysed and refined his behaviour
management skills. The Little Book Of Behaviour, trying to save the
world one brain at a time!
