This book can lead the reader through an intense journey. The story follows a boy and his mysterious voyage that takes him to far off lands and far away from his home. The biggest message I took away from this book is that sometimes it’s the journey that really matters and not always the end result. We need to take a moment, sit back and be content with where we are and what we have.

If you knew the final result to things you wouldn’t always be willing to take the journey.  Sometimes the journey itself can be as important as the final destination that you are trying to get to.
