YA
Sara meets Amesh, a poor Turkish boy, and finds a flying carpet while visiting her father in Istanbul. Both the carpet and the boy change her indelibly, leading her on a path toward self-definition and the realization of her destiny. Sara's constant, sudden "knowing" things and some misleading cultural information occasionally break the flow of an otherwise engaging story.
