Summary: A boy and his parents leave the little village where they have been ministering, just before the soldiers show up. Taking their possessions on a donkey and following a guide, the boy rescues a fish and brings it with them. They endure many hardships and challenges as they strive to find safety.
Review: Short, but it packs a punch. I can't help feeling that it's an allegory for something . . . And I'm missing it. What does the fish represent? Hope? Life? Hmmm. A good book circle book.
