Sophie and Gidaado are back and this time the enemy is more dangerous than camel thief Moussa ag Litni. Locusts with their crop-devouring mandibles threaten the livelihood of the entire Oudalan Province. Gidaado is forced to become a crier announcing local news and the descriptions of missing cows. With Sophie's help, Gidaado's announcements become great hits! Who could resist Gidaado's crooning "Has anybody seen my Skinny Legs?"
"This classy tale is as much a snapshot of West Africa as an adventure, but it has a thrilling camel race and a surprising denouement."Judith Woods - Daily Telegraph
"A rich and fascinating insight into West African culture."Carousel
