A Strange Adventure (مغامرة عجيبة غريبة) is an award-winning Arabic-language picture book by Palestinian-Jordanian author Taghreed Najjar, published by Al Salwa. While Hind is examining a straw basket gifted by her aunt, she is suddenly transported to a magical world where thread spools talk and a lobster plays a musical instrument. But a dark threat looms over this beautiful place — and Hind must find the courage to take the first step to save it.
