Description
Sophie lives in Gorom-Gorom, with her carnivorous-plant obsessed dad. Despite living there for two years and speaking the local language, Sophie finds it difficult to make friends. So when she meets Gidaado, a young griot (story-teller), she agrees to join him and his albino camel, Chobbal, on a journey to his village.

Not to mention the infamous Moussa ag Litni, a ruthless bandit who steals camels...

Professional reviews
"'Pure adventure story... an exceptional short novel.' THE TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT 'I really enjoyed it. I found it hard to put down.' MARIELLA FROSTRUP, OPEN BOOK '...Stephen Davies has a real talent for inspiring young children.' LOVEREADING4KIDS.CO.UK 'This book is absolutely delightful. Sophie is a great heroine - clever, and kind and brave; and the story, despite containing a real, page-turning adventure, is as gentle and charming as the albino camel who grins at you comfortably from the front cover.'
