(3) 4-6 In 1907, sixteen-year-old Julia Hamilton travels with her father, an uptight British foreign service worker, through Istanbul, Beirut, Damascus, Palmyra, and Alexandretta. There's a lot to like in this novel with the feel of an Agatha Christie mystery: exotic settings, dramatic scenery, mysterious characters, and romance. Readers will also learn some fascinating history about turn-of-the-century imperialism that echoes modern times.
