Description
Lekuta and the Goats & Other Stories – Grade 4 (Queenex) is an engaging English story collection written by Kapante Ole Reiya. The book centers on Lekuta, a Maasai boy who spends his days herding his father’s livestock together with his friend, Kasale. When they go off to hunt moles on the plains, things go seriously wrong and they lose part of the flock — setting them on a journey of responsibility, redemption, and understanding.
Beyond the central story, the collection includes several short stories that explore Maasai culture, environmental issues such as overgrazing, and the increasing conflict between humans and wildlife.
