Synopsis

A Muslim boy living in Morocco is allowed to fast at Ramadan for the first time on condition that, unlike the adults, he drinks water during the day. He travels to the mountains with his father and meets a young girl who helps him find a stream so that he can have a drink on this hot day. He is shocked to discover how difficult it is for this girl and the other mountain villagers to get water - but how can he help?

Well told -- TES 20020906 'This is an appealing book with pleasant illustrations in black and white and colour. It also includes a useful glossary and is a valuable book to have in the classroom.' -- Books for Keeps 20020501 'an attractive new series which manages to use lively, well-illustrated fiction as a back-drop for RE, Citizenship and PSHE without being off-puttingly didactic or preachy.' -- School Librarian Journal, Winter 2002 20020501
