This book was just "okay" for me. A bookmobile is brought to a remote village in Africa. Some of the villagers enjoy and look forward to the next visit, while others oppose it outright.
It seemed to go on and on about one boy and his missing books and i found the book overall to be dry and lacking a real story. I wish there had been more descriptions of the people and their surroundings. Rating 3/5

Novel about young librarian who travels to Kenya as literacy volunteer. The bush community she visits with the library books hauled via camel has varied issues already unfolding. The story of these issues and her involvement is interesting. It offers some differing views of the impact of modern on tradition that are thought provoking. Characters well developed. Style of writing moves the story along well, as it is vignettes of action, thought and conversation from one character viewpoint to another chapter by chapter.
