Produktbeschreibung

Real-life author Carole Marsh stumbles upon four bored kids in the cozy corners of the Spanish Moss School library. She hauls them aboard AIR BOOK - an airplane that is actually a library inside - bound for the mysterious city of Timbuktu, a city made of mud! Their surprise adventure suddenly catapults them out of the plane (with parachutes!) into a raging sandstorm. They land smack-dab in the heart of an empty desert. Determined to unearth the legendary "Best Book in the World," they start their quest through dark, dusty underground chambers tangled with cobwebs and slithering desert critters - and a ride atop the Camel Bookmobile! Against all odds, the kids rise (and fall!) to the challenge! They overcome obstacles and escape aboard the Dewey Decimal Train, narrowly bolting from the clutches of danger. With a little help from the spirited Ghost of Books Past and Carole's furry sidekick, Coconut, the rescue pup, they learn the key to unlocking the mystery is in history books and the magical clues they hold! ADVENTURE - HISTORY - MYSTERY - HUMOR - AND A RESCUE PUP! KIDS WILL LOVE THIS BOOK, EAT UP THIS SERIES - SAND AND ALL! "I love to write about exotic places with incredible history for young readers. I just have to share stories that matter against the backdrop of today's world. There's no place like Timbuktu for the story of books and why they matter and what people will do to save them!" - Carole Marsh
