Opis

During school holidays, the Cook family, led by Kim their fearless Jack Russell Terrier, travel the length of Pakistan, initially on holiday. However, they are soon embroiled in tracking down thieves who have stolen "The Dancing Girl" and "The Priest-King" figurines from the lost city of Mohenjo Daro. Kim has taken off in the back of the thieves' truck, determined to save the day and the stolen artefacts. Places explored include: Karachi, Hyderabad, Manchar Lake, Multan, Faisalabad, Ram Tear Lake, Rawalpindi, Murray, Khagan Valley, Babusar Pass, Saif ul Malook Lake, Hasan Abdal, Swabi and Peshawar. As one of the several sub-plots along the way, the family rescues a girl who has been kidnapped and forced to dance for a band of travelling entertainers. So now the double-chase is on. The family chases the thieves while the baddy entertainers chase the family! The Cooks finally catch up with the thieves in the dizzy heights of the Himalayas where there's one of several showdowns! Can Kim save the day? This book is dedicated to the fishermen, families and children of the floating village of Bhubak on Manchar Lake in Sindh Province, Pakistan. In this story, the Cook children, daughter Sam and son Charlie, learn more about themselves, particularly under pressure and adversity. Also, about the plight of poor people in developing countries. So while this book is high adventure, it also has solid moral underpinnings; is an authentic travelogue (the places explored can be looked up on the web), and offers genuine insights into the local customs, food and culture. Designed for 8 to 12 year old's, this book is not only a great read for youngsters, but also for their parents, grandparents and schoolteachers! This is Book 1 in the Kim's Adventure Travel series. Soon to be released are Book 2 Rumble in Rajasthan! Book 3 Eureka in Europe! And more to follow!
