HIGH WATER

The world you inherit is the one you fight for.

Lagos, the near future. Sixteen-year-old Ndidi Okafor lives in Makoko — a community built on stilts above the water — while a glittering walled city for the rich rises across the lagoon. Its sea-defences are beautiful. They are also drowning her neighbourhood, one tide at a time.

When a midnight surge takes everything, Ndidi stops asking the powerful for help and starts organising her own people. With her best friend Tunde, his salvaged radio, and a mysterious signal called the Memoria connecting young people across a heating planet, she discovers that her real weapon was never a boat or a sandbag. It's her voice — and a community that refuses to be called disposable.

A gripping, beautifully drawn graphic novel for readers 13–17 about climate migration, environmental justice, and the birth of an organiser. Grounded in the real story of Lagos, Makoko, and the rising seas of West Africa. The first book in The Reckoning — Series 2 of the Climate Keepers universe.

Includes a "What Is Real" facts section and a "You Are a Keeper Now" call to action.
