If not, it might be helpful to have more information. Is this book for kids, teens, or adults?

How old are the siblings? Two males, two females, or one of each?

Ice Eliza  | 3 comments It was for teens
I’m not sure how old they were but maybe younger than 15
The cover art of the book I had was not that great
Kind of primitive
I just know they were in a world of sand and they had to cross the desert to be able to save their world/ family

Alan (alanjc) | 480 comments The Makers by Victor Kelleher has a boy and a girl (escapees from a military training school) travelling across the desert, but they are not siblings.

***EDIT: I amended this content retroactively

I'll edit and put on spoiler tags, but if you don't want to know more, don't read the Lists that it's on... ;)

Please note: The Spoiler tag doesn't work in the Goodreads App. The "hidden" text is always visible.

Leah (leahandlibros) | 50 comments It was published in 2011, but Blood Red Road? They're twins that live in a desert dystopia.

Glad you found your book, Ice Eliza. Thanks for the update.

The Wind Singer (book 1) of The Wind on Fire Trilogy by William Nicholson - Julia's find.
