On his local & global travels young boy Sam Widges encounters
many interesting characters including a flan fan old man & his
monkey mate on a itchy desert island, mice on the moon hiding
beneath a big chunk of Chinese cheese, a jazzy jungle buzzing with
musical bees, a super windy sideways city that was so breezey all
the buildings got built at funny angles by mistake! Friendly french
folk growing floating fish on an organic farm in a forest, the
clever cloud people that live in the skies above a faraway city
giving sage advice to all that visit them, all the money in the
world hidden in a dusty bank-vault, hypnotic bingle wingle things
in a manic market in the tropics, joyous misty mountain dancing
circles in Ireland with the fairie folk of the emerald hills, Santa
Cruz soul surfing beside gardens heaving with hummingbirds &
exotic flowers, mysterious performers parading by a Fuji mountain
river walk in Japan & didgeridoo dancing outback aboriginals
amongst others. Highly detailed illustrations lead us to discover
with Sam Widges what he has always been searching for all this time
when he has travelled all around the world seeking his mysterious
goal. The red world map at the beginning of the book works like a
puzzle for readers to try to guess which page relates to which
stopover point in the book on his long distance travel to many
different continents of this planet & give young readers an
insight into our big planet. His adventure guides the reader to
find the inner values of life thatmean more to us than all the
shiny sparkly attractions of the outside world & its 10,000
hypnotic things. This meditative approach is designed to leave
story readers in a peaceful tranquil state of mind ready for a good
dream just before bedtime or to feel like they have travelled the
world without ever leaving their arm chair. He achieves his gentle
realisation at last after much soul searching in the same gentle
manner a white feather of peace makes contact with a pool of
crystal clear water landing in a slow motion soft bounce...

"A beautifully rendered coming-of-age story."-Kirkus Reviews
(starred review) No one knows what lies beyond the magical village
door, but Ezomo is determined to find out. Mayonn Paasewe-Valchev's
debut is an unforgettable coming-of-age story about friendship,
family, and long-standing traditions. The power of storytelling
comes to life in this novel perfect for fans of Erin Entrada Kelly,
Tracey Baptiste, and Tae Keller. There are three important laws in
Ezomo's village: Do not go to The Valley, do not go out at night,
and never, ever, ever open the magical door that protects them all.
But when Ezomo encounters the leopard believed to have killed his
father, he and his two best friends embark on a journey that leads
them past the boundaries set by their elders. With his friends by
his side, Ezomo chases after the leopard, certain that it has the
power to cure all. But in the process, he discovers the truth about
his village. And that cautionary tales exist for a reason. Mayonn
Paasewe-Valchev's debut novel balances a gripping adventure with
themes of friendship, community, identity, grief, and resilience.
Poignant and memorable, Ezomo's story will appeal to fantasy lovers
and readers of Grace Lin and Kelly Barnhill.
