Synopsis

Fifteen-year-old Jake Knight is an explorer and adventurer at heart but this often gets him into trouble. When a stuffy English boarding school suspends him for rule-breaking, Jake flies out to Burkina Faso where his parents are living. He is expecting a long, adventure-filled vacation under a smiling African sun. But what awaits him there is kidnapping, terrorism and Yakuuba Sor - the most wanted outlaw in the Sahara desert.

Media Reviews
A strong desert setting and a corkscrew of a plot make this a terrific page-turner. * Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading4Kids *
Pure good-hearted fun for fans of Anthony Horowitz. * The Times *
A faintly old-fashioned tale of kidnap, complete with Robin Hood figure, double-dealing policemen and British spies running amok. Highly entertaining. * Independent on Sunday *
The outlaw at the heart of the plot brings a heartening complexity and morality to this seldom-seen setting. Nonstop action in the African desert. * Kirkus *
The outlaw at the heart of the plot, Yakuuba Sor, brings a heartening complexity and morality to this seldom-seen setting. Nonstop action in the African desert. * Kirkus Reviews USA *
