Parade+of+Shadows

__Parade of Shadows__ is about a girl, Julia, who goes on a trip with her father. They go to Turkey, where they travel around in a group with about 10 other people. They ride on horses through cities, but they also take a camel with them to carry some of their luggage. They sleep in tents, and Julia's 'roommate' is the only other girl on the trip, Edith. She is a biologist. Also with them are a Frenchman named Monsieur Louvios, and a young man named Graham Geddes who Julia falls in love with. Habib is their 'tour guide', and they also have a dragoman and three other men-Mohammed, Mastur, and Hakki. Julia finds out along the way that there are many secrets between her group of travelers. Many of their group is lost, killed, or run away from them. Julia, in the end, finds out that Graham really isn't that much of great guy, and she doesn't like him anymore. Her father tells her that, from now on, she can travel with him.

The culture of Turkey is much different from the United States. Most of the people are Muslims, so the women wear saris and other traditional clothing that covers their whole bodies (except for their eyes.) Many of the travelers travel on camels, while others ride on horseback. Their food is different, too. They eat quite a bit of rice and hot tea. Also, their government is very different. Each city has a Sheik, who is kind of like a governor. ~Hayley Elizabeth(:

I would NEVER recommend this book to ANYONE! I would NEVER put anyone else through the pain and torture. I absolutely did NOT like this book, and it was confusing and I had no idea what they were talking about most of the time. This book is ridiculous, and I couldn't stand it. ~Hayley Elizabeth(:
