No answer. So I got out from under the covers, put my shoes on, rubbed my eyes and went to find the owner of the place to ask if he’d seen her, because three days earlier, as soon as we arrived, he’d told us that no one went in or out without him noticing, which seemed odd to me, since I assumed that even he needed to sleep from time to time. Here Fabio Geda delivers the moving true story of Enaiat’s extraordinary will to survive and of the accidental brotherhood he found with the boys he met along the way. In the Sea There Are Crocodiles brilliantly captures Enaiat’s engaging voice and humor, in what is a truly epic story of hope and survival, for readers of all ages. urn:lcp:inseatherearecro0000geda_k1a3:epub:bc095570-fb75-482f-aefc-cd7ea1c365e8 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier inseatherearecro0000geda_k1a3 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2r7b9dc7fb Invoice 1652 Isbn 9780307743824 Hair-raising. . . .

You must be hospitable and tolerant to everyone. Promise me you’ll do that.
