True Love, the Sphinx, and Other Unsolvable Riddles: A Comedy in Four Voices

(3) YA New Yorkers Salah and Sam meet Londoners Octavia and Rosie on a school trip to Egypt. The story is told though their alternating voices, and their ensuing experiences with friendship and love are rife with Shakespearean complications. Readers may not relate to the wealthy, gorgeous protagonists, no matter how misunderstood they claim to be, but the book provides good escapist fun.
