Beverly Hills Maasai by Eric Walters
Another title that will be at the bookfair -- $12.50
From the back cover:
When Alexandria answers the phone in her California mansion, the last person she's expecting to hear from is Nebala, the Maasai warrior she befriended during her life-altering trip to Kenya. Not only is Nebala calling, he, along with two other Maasai, have just arrived at the LA airport. They are there to compete in the Beverly Hills marathon, a race they plan on winning so that the prize money can be used to build a well in their village back home.
Before the big run, and with Alexandria as their guide, the Kenyan trio spend some time getting to know their urban surroundings. The Maasai find life in the world's most famous zip code as baffling and intriguing as the citizens of Beverly Hills find them. But in a day full of drama and surprise, whent he Maasai approach the marathon finishing line they demonstrate that what unites us is more powerful than what divides us.
This is the sequel to Alexandria of Africa.
