Description

Staś Tarkowski and his friend Nel Rawlison set off by train from Cairo to join their fathers working on the construction of the Suez Canal. When no one awaits them at their destination, and Bedouins order them to continue their journey through the desert, the children realize they have been kidnapped... The long trek on camels is exhausting, and what's more, the lives of the boy and the little English girl are constantly in the hands of their captors. Staś seizes an opportunity and, thanks to his extraordinary courage and shooting skills, escapes with Nel and two slaves. But the way home will be long and full of dangers. A sandstorm, wild animals, and a dangerous illness are just some of the perils they will have to face.
