I put this query to #AskALibrarian this morning and was recommended On a
Medieval Day: Story Voyages Around the World by Rona Arato. It has a short
story set in Timbuktu and is recommended for grades 3-8.
Thanks!

Hi all,
I'm stumped and wanted to ask for some help.
Our Social Studies teacher does a unit with 7th graders on the medieval
world, not just Europe but what was happening around the world in the
"Middle Ages", specifically in feudal Japan, the Mongol Empire, Mesoamerica
and the West African Kingdoms in Ghana, Mali and Songhai.
This year, our English teacher would like to tie in his historical fiction
unit with her project and asked me for fiction recs appropriate for 7th
grade. I found plenty for all of those except West Africa. The only one
that came close was a picture book called Mansa Musa: the Lion of Mali.
Anyone know of any others?
Thanks!
Cassy
p.s. Hope to see you all at the POCIS Librarian Roundtable
