What could Noûr, a highly intelligent girl living in the Arabian desert, and Balthazar, the lonely son of a French nobleman, have in common? At first glance, not much. Yet, these two young protagonists will experience a unique adventure that binds them forever, without ever meeting. In a period still troubled by the Crusades, Noûr and Balthazar join forces across time and space to prove that humans are still capable of beautiful things. And time is of the essence because a spirit, a djinn, has been sent to contaminate animals, including Crusty, a camel and Noûr’s best friend. With “Noûr and Balthazar,” Frédéric Sounac creates a captivating book, blending historical narrative with fantasy.
