I read it in the mid-late 80s, somewhere between about 4th and 8th grade. I don&#8217;t recall any illustrations. It was set in a mythological land and was about a kid who rode across the desert on the back of a large crab. I think there was a procession of crabs, migrating maybe. I think the kid&#8217;s people had never been across the desert and didn&#8217;t know what existed on the other side. And maybe he had to eat the crab (or one of them) to survive.
