Setting: Middle East
A juvenile novel
Two boys are thrown together by chance in the desert, encountering only relentless sun and heat, sand and hostile adults. One boy is from a modern English-speaking world; the other is from a nomadic Arabic- speaking world. Two boys, three days = the trials of survival, the unlikely development of a friendship, and definitely a life-threatening adventure.
