(4) K-3 Illustrated by Kasia Charko. In a tale so strange it must be (and is) true, young Cameron and his father lead twenty-one camels on a supply delivery mission during the Canadian Gold Rush of 1862. Manuel's fictionalized account is well paced and contains touches of humor that offset some of the stiff dialogue. Charko's watercolor and colored-pencil art features a bevy of expressive camels.
