'Almost There and Other Stories' are stories worth reading. Every story is unique and has a lesson that will give the reader an in-depth glimpse into the lives of some children living in different parts of western Zambia, especially those in the untapped but beautiful remote areas. Adventure is good for both young and old, but it is much more interesting for young children and youths because along the way, it builds and strengthens their characters and in the process, releases a satisfying sense of achievement.
