DESCRIPTION:
. Ages 10-14. In her latest escapade, Vesper and her loyal guardian Brinnie journey to the North African country of Jedera in order to return a book to the library in the remote desert city of Bel-Saaba. But fortunately for readers, Alexander makes the most of any territory Vesper Holly sets out to conquer.
