Part of the Karito Kids Adventure series, Nairobi Nightmare features Lulu Kibwana, an 11-year-old girl who is on a quest through Nairobi to clear her friends name after he was accused of stealing a famous statue. Taking the reader through privileged Nairobi as well as its slums, Lulu learns some hard lessons about trying to right longstanding wrongs, unfair treatment of the poor, and choices we all make in trying to help others. As with all Karito Kid Adventures, the books interact with the Karito Kids website and allow kids to activate a donation to a childrens charity online.
