Outlaw

Stephen Davies

Fifteen-year-old Jake Knight is an explorer and adventurer at heart but this often gets him into trouble. When a stuffy English boarding school suspends him for rule-breaking, Jake flies out to Burkina Faso where his parents are living. He is expecting a long, adventure-filled vacation under a smiling African sun. But what awaits him there is kidnapping, terrorism and Yakuuba Sor - the most wanted outlaw in the Sahara desert.

Reviews

"A strong desert setting and a corkscrew of a plot make this a terrific page-turner."
Julia Eccleshare, LoveReading4Kids

"Pure good-hearted fun for fans of Anthony Horowitz."
The Times

"A faintly old-fashioned tale of kidnap, complete with Robin Hood figure, double-dealing policemen and British spies running amok. Highly entertaining."
Independent on Sunday

"The outlaw at the heart of the plot brings a heartening complexity and morality to this seldom-seen setting. Nonstop action in the African desert."
Kirkus

"The outlaw at the heart of the plot, Yakuuba Sor, brings a heartening complexity and morality to this seldom-seen setting. Nonstop action in the African desert."
