In the process of prospecting through the book storage for books that people have ordered, I found the Holy Grail: an entire box of A Wind in Cairo. This book is long out of print, and it is a cult favorite. It's an Arabian Nights tale with a historical basis (it has Saladin in it, for starters) about a very bad man who gets what he deserves--and what he deserves has a lot to do with horses. Mostly it's a YA, though it was published (with an infamously hideous cover) as genre fantasy.
If you loved the Brennan books, you'll really like this one. Suitable for the young horseaholics on your list, too, though it's PG-13. (But considering how many fan letters Caitlin gets from 12-14yo girls, I'd say this one is right up their alley.)
Mass market, limited availability. $25 includes shipping (this book, she is rare). Please add 3% to your PayPal payment if you're paying with a credit card.
And let me add a big THANK YOU! to everyone who has contributed to the cause so far. You guys are amazing--and I'm looking forward to seeing a bunch of you at Camp Lipizzan once that gets up and running.
