The House Of Rust by Khadija Abdalla Bajaber
In Mombasa, a determined young girl sets out to sea to find her missing fisherman father, sailing in a bone-built boat with a sharp-tongued talking cat as her unlikely guide. As she faces sea monsters, spirits, and trials drawn from coastal folklore, she wrestles with family expectations and the limits placed on her future. Her perilous quest becomes a coming-of-age journey that claims her voice and power as the boundaries between the ordinary and the wondrous blur.
