Desert Prisoner. Andrea Abbott

What would you do if you were left behind in the desert? Would you stay put in the hope that someone would find you? And if that someone turned out to be a scrawny stray dog, would you follow him?This is 12-year old Leo Knight’s dilemma when he is abandoned in the remote Namib Desert without food, water, or shelter from the searing sun. When no human help arrives, he seizes his only chance for survival – he follows a mysterious dog that pitches up out of the blue.
