Exiled: Memoirs of a Camel

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ali the camel crosses the Texan desert in 1856, and as part of the United States Camel Corps, Ali must balance his work ethic and dreams of freedom. While winning over his true love and surviving in the old West, Ali's view of the "men-beasts" will change, as those who keep him in servitude earn his respect and love. This little-known slice of history, told from such a unique perspective, will please readers of all ages.

Autorenporträt

Kathleen Karr surprises her readers each time she finishes a book, as no two are alike. Whether she's writing about a fifteen-year-old boy settling in the Carolina Colony in 1670 (Worlds Apart) or a high-flying chase across Europe in search of stolen artwork (The 7th Knot), she engages and exhilarates her readers. Ms. Karr's latest novel, Born for Adventure, takes readers deep into the heart of the African jungle. Her titles have been selected for the American Library Association's recommended bibliographies, Notable Books for Children and Best Books for Young Adults. She and her husband, the parents of two grown children, live in a restored town house in Washington, D.C.
