Great Cake Mystery, The: Precious Ramotswe's Very First Case

Precious, a young girl who lives in Botswana, sets her heart on being a detective when she grows up. When a mystery occurs in her class --who stole the piece of cake, the bread and jam, and iced buns-—she takes it upon herself to solve the crime. Although all the children blame an overweight boy for the theft, Precious looks beyond stereotypes and prejudices to seek the truth. The three-colour illustrations and easy-to-read text will delight primary students, as well as introduce Botswana and its culture, and the themes of honesty, prejudice, and social responsibility. Written by noted author Alexander McCall Smith.
