What this book is about

Tianna is fierce, independent, and convinced she knows better than just about everyone around her—until a summer in Kenya, surrounded by wildlife and a community very different from her own, begins to challenge every assumption she holds. Rispin's Christian young adult fiction is grounded in genuine love for East Africa and its natural world, offering young readers adventure alongside quiet invitations to reflect on pride, growth, and belonging.
