Moses and his friend, King Kong, set a dorm in their school, Mukibi's Educational Institute for the Sons of African Gentlemen, on fire - accidentally of course. Thus it is that the Dorm 3 inmates find themselves camping out in tents by the river and up to their necks in trouble.

It is while they are trying to push a tent pole into the stony ground that King Kong digs up a bag containing gold watches, bracelets, necklaces, rings, and six cameras in smart brown leather cases!

Needless to say, the boys are unable to keep their great discovery to themselves and, before long, they are involved with thieves and with the police as King Kong disappears.

Moses the Camper is the ninth title in the adventures of Barbara Kimenye's mischievous Ugandan schoolboy.
