Once Upon a Camel

 by Kathi Appelt



Genre:  Fantasy, Animal Story


Zada was probably the first camel to ever set foot in Texas.  She was a gift to the US Army from the Pasha for whom she won many races for.  She worked hard as for the US Army until they no longer needed camels and she was then set free to fend for herself in the desert, with her life long friend, Asiye at her side.  But as the two camels grew older, it has become harder and harder to navigate the desert.  When a massive dust storm hits, Zada is put in charge of saving two young kestrels.  Does Zada have the strength and courage to get them to safety?
