Publisher's Synopsis
It's just a night in the desert, there's no reason to be scared... or is there?
Mika's family goes on a trip to the desert in the south. On the way, they stop at a gas station and Mika uses the restroom. When she comes out, she discovers that all the cars are gone and she is alone.
Suddenly, she sees figures walking in the distance. Thinking it's her family she is seeing, she starts walking towards them, to the wadi. But suddenly, the figures disappear over the horizon and she is alone again, tired and scared in the big unfamiliar wadi, surrounded by wild animals. How will Mika get through a night in the desert? Will she find her way back to her family?
Accompanied by lovely illustrations, "Night in the Wadi" is a wonderful book for young children who read by themselves and like a little dose of fear in their books.
