Nani’s forgetfulness leads adults to consider residential care, while Xanthe tries to help her stay at home and recover memories.
Nani fled Uganda as a child during the Idi Amin uprising, and Xanthe investigates the past that Nani does not discuss.
Xanthe faces anxiety about starting a new school and recruits Romeo and Pria to help investigate Nani’s past.
Some readers may need support with Nani’s forgetfulness, the possibility of residential care, her childhood flight from Uganda, and the emotional pressure surrounding family independence and change.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
