Reeksen: Unintentional Adventures of Kia and Agatha (1)
Kia is a quirky loner with an ironic sense of humor. When 16-yr-old Kia is training to be a universal translator, she is co-opted into travelling as a translator to Malem. This is the last place in the universe that Kia wants to be—it’s the planet where her father caught the terrible illness that killed him—but it’s also where he got the magnificent diamond that only she knows about. Kia is convinced he stole it, as it is illegal for any off-worlder to possess a Malemese diamond. Using her skill in languages–and another skill she picked up, the skill of picking locks-Kia unravels the secret of the mysterious gem and learns what she must do to set things right: return the diamond to its original owner. But how will she find out who that is when no one can know that she, an off-worlder, has a Malemese diamond? Can she trust the friends she’s made on Malem, especially handsome 17-year-old Jumal, to help her? And will she solve the secret in time to save Agatha, the last person she would have expected to become her closest friend, who came to Malem with her? Kia is quirky, with an ironic sense of humour and a loner. Her sidekick, Agatha, is hopeless in languages and naive to the point of idiocy in Kia's opinion, but possesses the wisdom and compassion Kia needs.
