A short adventurous read as we follow a boy on his journey across a desert to find treasure! The writer uses this boy’s voyage to convey the importance of following one’s dreams, of spiritual awareness, and of courage through the uncertainties of life. I liked that he didn’t have to go into too many details to achieve this - the story was simple and inspiring and easy to follow. What I didn’t really like was the use of many metaphors and abstract words. On the other hand maybe these are appropriate because life is indeed abstract and difficult to understand!
