Reach for this book when your child is processing a major life transition, particularly one involving the loss of a home or a foundational belief system. It provides a profound space for older children to explore how we rebuild our identities when the world we knew is suddenly gone. Peter Dickinson's award winning story follows Peter, a boy who survives a violent uprising in China and finds himself on a perilous journey toward the mountains of Tibet.
