Sophie and the Albino Camel
Stephen Davies
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. It is not until they have set off that Sophie begins to realise just how dangerous the desert is - it's full of djinns that creep up behind you and jump on your head and make you go mad, not to mention the infamous Moussa ag Litni, a ruthless bandit who steals camels. . .
Reviews
I thought that it wasn't my favourite book, but I enjoyed it because it was about a girl who goes on an adventure to the Sahara desert.

It's a good book because the story is about a girl (Sophie) who is very courageous. She lives with her dad in Africa. One day she goes to the market and want to see the camel enclosure. She looks at a white camel and meet a boy whose name is Gidadoo. Gidadoo invites her for a ride. Sophie says "yes". But she will see that there is a lot of danger in the desert like mad murderer, snakes,no water, no food.
