About the Book

"Moeri has shaped this story with an unsensationalized precision that will compel readers through the experience of 12-year-old King David, who regains consciousness after the massacre of his wagon train and assumes responsibility for his little sister's life on a barren plain . . . Vivid (and) memorable".--Booklist, starred review.

Book Synopsis

They've always relied upon their parents to take care of them. Now they are going to have to survive alone.

The vicious attack on their wagon train killed almost everyone--except David and his younger sister, whom he calls Queen of Sheba. The two are stranded on the deserted trail, and have to live by their wits and whatever supplies they can scavenge. And although David is seriously hurt, he knows that frail Queen of Sheba is counting on him. He can only hope that their parents are somewhere up ahead--if he can find them.
