Something is not right with this American archaeologist and his wife. Supposedly tourists. Why are they so interested in the ancient manuscripts of Timbuktu? Could they really be plotting to steal one? Well, they are more than old manuscripts to Ayisha and Ahmed-they are a rich part of their own heritage. No way are the two teens going to let this happen  They risk everything to stop them, embarking on a desperate quest that takes them across the desert, through a deadly heat, a sweeping sandstorm and fi nally to the port city of Korioume to confront and trap the wily thieves-and save a treasure of Timbuktu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCristina Kessler knew she wanted to be a writer at the age of ten, and since she was twelve, she knew she would travel the world. Not surprisingly, she put these two early dreams together. A Peace Corps worker originally, for thirty years, she lived abroad, but for nineteen of those years, Africa was what she called home. Africa is not only where Cristina's books are set, it is where her heart is. Her love and respect for the people and her personal connection brings an authenticity and life to her stories rare in children's books. Committed to sharing these rich cultures with her American readers, Cristina has authored the award-winning Trouble In Timbuktu, a contemporary adventure story set in Timbuktu, Mali. She and her husband, Joe, currently reside on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands, but they still visit Africa at least once a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 354\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 10, 2014\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trouble in Timbuktu\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upper Middle Grades, 6 and up\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52504686362931,"sku":"9780692287910","price":31.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/VVNjWk9oNzljbC9qMEoySDhFRktYUT09.webp?v=1760198296","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/trouble-in-timbuktu-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
