Customer Reviews

Makes you want to go on the same adventure!

This book is so much more than just a boring book about the Sahara. It is an adventure that gives kids (and adults) a feel for what it would really be like to be there. The sights, smells, sounds, and excitement are described. There are so many interesting facts added, hand drawn maps, and beautiful photography. Both my daughter (10) and I enjoyed it. This is a great book for those studying Africa.
