Kek lived in Africa with his mom; they later moved to Minnesota. His mom was missing, so Kek lived on his own and soon he made friends. His friend Hannah showed him around. Later on, he met this lady named Lou, and her farm is rundown. Kek saw a cow on this farm and always wanted to go see him. Every time they rode the bus there, Hannah ends up paying for Kek to ride. So Kek tried to find a job. Kek asked Lou if he can take care of her farm, and she says yes. When he went to school, they called him cowboy (because he took care of Lou’s cow.) Since the cow didn’t have a name, Kek named him Gol (which means family). Later on, Lou told Kek that the farm had to be sold, and Kek got mad. He did not go to the farm anymore. A few weeks later he went to the farm and got to take Gol and run away, but Lou saw him. Lou told him he can donate Gol to the zoo. They walked to the zoo. They caused a traffic jam and the cops came. The cops let them go to the zoo, and Gol became part of the petting zoo.

Some things I learned from the African culture are that we have to be thankful for what we have. The people over there barely have any food. We can just go to the grocery store and get whatever we want. In Africa they have to walk places if they want to go away from home. And we have so many options we can choose from such as buses, cars, and many more. -Melissa

I would recommend this book to someone if they wanted a short, easy book for multicultural. But if some one just wanted a book to read, I wouldn't recommend it because it doesn't have much action, and I thought it was a boring book.-Melissa

====This book talked about how life was for African people. The African people suffer from a lot of diseases and people attacking their villages. Kek was stunned at how much food there was in the grocery store because he probably has never seen that much food in his life and he remembered how the children would suffer in his home country. It shows how lucky we are to have freedom to do the things we like. We are also lucky that we have food to eat and a home to stay in. - DeAndre====

====I would recommend this book to someone who likes a book about African people. If someone needed to finish a book within a day I would tell them to read this book. I did not think this book was very good. It did not have much action and it was boring. -DeAndre====
