Summary:Mosquitoes don't bite Nala Simiyu. It's part of who she is, like being a half-Kenyan seventh-grader whose mother is in a wheelchair. But Nala's ability to repel mosquitoes attracts the interest of drug company scientists. Soon she's on a trip to Kenya to help investigate mosquito resistance in her father's family. Danger--and a kidnapper--intervene. Brave, fallible, compassionate and spirited, Nala is a strongly relatable character in a loving, imperfect family.
