Product Description

When the Tuareg, a fierce nomadic tribe, come after Tille Thornton, she can't believe they're serious! How can they think she's the legendary Tree-Planting Woman--the one who holds the key to the treasure of Timbuktu? But they are serious. Deadly serious.

Desperate and on the run, Tille finds herself in an uneasy partnership with Graeme McLeod, a daring adventurer who comes out of nowhere to thwart the Tuareg's attempt to kidnap her. Now the two of them are joined against angry tribesmen, crocodiles, a sandstorm, rampaging hippos, and more as they embark on a quest that could bring them the answers they seek--or cost them everything.

Customer Reviews

Also under the title "A Kiss of Adventure"
I have fallen in love with this book and have read it multiple times. I was quite disappointed to discover that it was out of print. After a while I managed to get a used copy. However, while shopping a book caught my eye and I flipped through it. Imagine my surprise when I discovered the book to be The Treasure of Timbuktu, only under a different name! If you would like a copy the title is now A Kiss of Adventure, which is part of the treasures of the heart series.

This book is my favorite novel by Catherine Palmer!
This book is really exciting & extremely funny. Tillie, a girl longing for a change in her so predictable life, is swept away on an adventure with Greame. At first Tillie isn't sure about Greame but as they continue traveling together in Africa she finds it hard to deal with the fact that he isn't a christian and they can have no future together. Once you open this book you can't put it down and the pages will not stop turning. This book could turn someone who hates reading into someone who loves to!
