Insight into the plight of Tibet
A story of adventure and friendship, of bravery, separation and identity. But a context that is real and continuing, drawing on the experience of the occupation of Tibet by China and the forced exile across the Himalayan mountains for tens of thousands of Tibetans who face religious and cultural persecution.
A middle grade book that should be a catalyst for awareness, discussion and hopefully change.
Beautifully written - the cold of the mountain passes penetrated from the pages.
Highly recommended.
