(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Kelly Murphy. Eleven-year-old Zagora dreams of being an "intrepid explorer." She gets her chance when her archaeologist father takes her to Morocco in search of his long-lost colleague--and the longer-lost city of Zahir. Indiana Jones–style action and supernatural danger keep the pages turning, and detailed line drawings ably capture quirky character traits and desert beauty in this Nathaniel Fludd: Beastologist read-alike.
