THE AFRICAN BALL - Written by Karis George

Mala, a lively and imaginative girl, is consumed by her longing to attend the highly anticipated ball in the enchanting realm of Talway. However, her stoic and unimaginative sister, Omi, dismisses her dreams as pointless. When the Queen of Talway unexpectedly crosses paths with the sisters, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity unfolds, taking Mala and Omi on an exhilarating adventure. Along the way, they discover the true essence of sisterhood, friendship, acceptance, and the sheer delight of embracing new opportunities.
