  • Tapiwa's Uncle: Do You Know Me

    Nancy Farmer

    eBook
    Uncle Zeka looks at his new family and smiles. It is such a big welcoming smile that Tapiwa knows she's going to like him. What she doesn't know is all the adventures he had walking nearly the whole way from Mozambique to Zimbabwe. She soon hears the story--the first of many stories from Uncle Zeka--about how bandits swept down upon his village in the middle of the night how they burned his hut, and how all his gold nuggets have been lost in the ashes.Uncle Zeka's adventures don't stop when he moves in with Tapiwa's family and Tapiwa soon finds herself sharing them. She learns, the hard way, how not to keep wild bees, how not to trap wild pigs and how not to drive down a mine shaft. But, most of all, her wild and wonderful uncle teaches her how to trust herself and stand up to her snooty classmates at Lobatse School.
