Mom's Review

Esma Farouk, Lost in the Souk
embodies the feelings of summer travel, visiting favorite places, and getting caught up in exciting events. When Esma gets separated from her mom and aunt in a crowded souk, the kind vendors help them reunite. Vandenbosch's illustrative style complements Boersen's and Elbaamrani's tale perfectly to transport the reader to Esma's side. Esma is a relatable, likeable character whose experience will resonate and entertain.
