Tatenda: Book One: Finding Your Voice

By: Chileka-Chidziva, Blessed

Tatenda knows how to handle a dusty road, a messy kitchen, and a little sister who asks too many questions. But Form 1 - secondary school - is a whole new world.

On her very first week, Tatenda finds a best friend, faces a bully, and discovers that being brave is a lot more complicated than she thought. When Omega starts stealing her sister Tanaka's lunch, Tatenda steps in - fiercely, cleverly, and in exactly the wrong way.

Book One: Finding Your Voice is a warm, funny, and deeply honest story about two sisters growing up in Zimbabwe. It's about standing up for the people you love, learning when you have gone too far, and finding the courage to say sorry - even when the other person started it.

For readers aged 7-12. Features Shona language and culture, with a full glossary.

"Anyone can hurt back. Not everyone can choose to be gentle when they are angry."
