Hello Everybody! This week, we started reading this amazing book called the 'Lost Riders', by an author called Elizabeth Laird. This author writes many other book like 'A little piece of ground', 'Garbage king' etc.
Lost rider, is about a book where these two boys, called Rashid and Shari, who lives in Pakistan, and is forced to be taken to Dubai to become a Camel Jockey in the middle of a desert, where they have to take care of the camels, and go into camel races. In the middle of the trip, Rashid and Sharid, were separated and each was given a fake name. Rashid was called Yasser and Shari was called Farid. This book is about a life, being a camel jockey with Rashid's (Yasser's) point of view.
I noticed, that the life, being a camel jockey is a really hard life and it is really depressing. The house, where Rashid (Yasser) and Sharid (Farid) were living was really different to my house. They only had two rooms! Some adults, where the camel jockey spend their life, were really mean and terrifying.
This book has lots of exciting events and wants to make you read on more. I will recommend this book to Years 5-6.
Hope you enjoy it!
