Watch out, Harry Potter - Sophie's Coming !
Harry had better be on his guard. The next “big thing” could be just around the corner and about to dethrone him:
Yes, the time is rapidly drawing near for the publication of the first book in the series of “Sophie and the Albino Camel” by Steve Davies. A wonderful children's (8+) story, set in Burkina Faso, it tells of the adventures of a young girl (Sophie) and her albino camel (Chobbal).
You can actually read a chapter of the book online at Steve’s website Voice in the Desert. The story follows Sophie and her friend Gidaado, as they set out from Gorom-Gorom into the vast Sahara desert on the albino camel, Chobbal.
You can also order your copy of "Sophie and the Albino Camel" from Amazon, for immediate delivery on its publication on 6 April.

Have you read a book called ANATOPSIS? It's a much bigger threat to Harry than this book is. (Not that I have anything against Sophie and Chobbal.)
