"Gabbra's Song"
by Janey Volden

"Gabbra's Song" is a teen fiction novel set primarily in drought-ravaged northern Kenya. Readers will sweat as they follow Riley's gripping adventure with a nomadic tribe whose survival depends on Dumbuluk's fresh water well. Riley is swept into a bittersweet relationship with Nagya the strong, roguish warrior, while her childhood friend Gabbra wrestles with commitments to tradition. Despite danger, jealous rivalry, and a fight for her life, Riley is determined to make a difference in the questionable future of a small tribe in Africa.
