Hamid rubbed the light from his eyes and looked again. He was not dreaming; it was his stepfather!
The man watched Kinza - as a snake might watch a baby rabbit at play - waiting for the moment to strike. And, for one breathless moment, Hamid was sure that he would reach out and snatch her away. Hamid does not want his little blind sister, Kinza, to be sold to a beggar by their stepfather, so he decides to rescue her. Together, they escape from their mountain village to a town where there may be a new home for Kinza. But, this is only the start of their adventures.
Will Kinza be safe? What will happen to Hamid, who dares not go back home?
