Such a cute middle grade book about Amanda venturing to the United Arab Emirates. It is educational too, various aspects of living in the desert and the culture and customs of the people are explained in an interesting way throughout the book. It is descriptive, fun, and amusing too. I particularly loved the sections with camels and how the author explained different types of camels and how wonderful the camel is especially in a sand storm!
What a great way to educate youngsters about the diversity of cultures in this world.
It transported me away for a while, and made me smile, which I’m grateful for particularly at the moment when we can’t go anywhere.
Four stars from me.

This is the first in a series of children's books about Amanda, a 12-year-old from Canada who wishes for adventures around the world - and gets them!
The first book is set in the United Arab Emirates, with new friends, mystery and adventure for Amanda in this exotic location. It's a well told tale, simple enough for young readers to enjoy, with just enough description to create the right atmosphere. The facts about Arab culture and geography are nicely woven in without being 'teachy'. I particularly liked the relationship Amanda struck up with 'her' camel, Ali Baba.
Perfect for young readers of 7+ who enjoy travel and other lands.
