This reads like a story your parents would tell you before tucking you in at night. It has adventure, life lessons, and a happy ending. What more could you ask for?

How anyone could rate this below 3 ⭐️ blows my mind. If your looking for a book that will make you reach for your own dreams... This is It! 5 stars ⭐️ for me.
