Finally, he is officially “kicked out” of his family when he tries to go back. What are the choices along the way? What or where is home? What is family? Sometimes what appears to be bad is good and what appears to be good is bad. Who is to sort that out? As a kid, what choices would you make? As a parent, what choices would your child make? Take time to listen as the kids answer questions. Told in easy to read, fast action episodes, some hilarious, some educational, some pure fantasy. Would the reader make similar or different choices?
