My beautiful cousin Kate, who lives in Manama, Bahrain, has sent me a copy of Abdullah and His Grandfather, written by Andy McNab and illustrated by Patricia Al Fakhri. I can't wait to read it and blog about it!

Mardel of Rabid Reader has given Asia in the Heart, World on the Mind a Beautiful Blogger Award. Thank you so much, Mardel!
By the way folks, Mardel is a really youthful and cool grandmother! :o)
Looking forward to reading your thoughts about this book - although I had a puzzled smile when I first saw it as here in the UK there is a well known author called Andy McNab who is an ex SAS soldier and writes war thrillers (http://www.andymcnab.co.uk/) - I'm assuming it's not the same author??
ReplyDeleteHi, Zoe! I really don't know! When I was trying to find out who the author was, I only found Andy McNab the ex SAS soldier. I think I'll ask the publisher. :o)
