LOST RIDERS by Elizabeth Laird



Lost Riders is our class book at the moment. Here is a blurb:

"A gripping and heart stopping story, Lost Riders uncovers the shocking story of child slavery today. Rashid is eight when his uncle sells him and his younger brother to a man who promises him a new life in Dubai. But the promises are quickly broken; Rashid is separated from his bother and uncle, he is made to take a new name, and he is forced to work as a camel jockey in races with high stakes and a high price for failure. Rashid thinks of nothing but escape. Will he be able to get free and return home to Pakistan?"

The visualising sketch on our IWB was created by our fantastic artist and reader, Morgan.
