The Queen of Katwe

The Queen of Katwe: A Story of Life, Chess, and One Extraordinary Girl's Dream of Becoming a Grandmaster



This book is not so much about chess prodigy Phiona Mutesi, as it is about escaping the Kampala Uganda slum of Katwe, where most residents struggle even to find one meal a day.  This excellent book details the story of multiple people that influence Phiona as she discovers chess and uses it to change her world.
