The Secret Source is a fast-paced, gripping piece of narration. Makambo’s talent could easily go unnoticed. It could suffer the all too common fate of suppression and eventual neglect. It could be dismissed with a wave of the hand as some hazy dream. The germ seed of Makambo’s talent, however, is so potent that no one, and nothing, succeeds in preventing it from coming to fruition. This novella inspires faith in personal ability, urging that any suspicion of some special talent be granted heaps upon heaps of the attention as it germinates, grows and blossoms. While at it, the page-turner also celebrates the elderly and wise individuals, who are the custodians of authentic knowledge and heritage. From them, youngsters can always draw leisurely and usefully, just as the protagonist has done. Learners in upper primary and those in secondary school will find this book both fine and very useful. Besides its inspiring themes, it is a masterfully crafted piece of prose, couched in high standards of English expression; hence, it does justice to language needs. Of course, the general reader, too, will reap the deep joy offered in the 88 pages.
