Fleeing responsibility is not an effective strategy

This boy ran away to prove he is grown-up enough to make decisions, but such a decision comes with consequences. In the second installment of the fairytale tapestry, a boy starts on a journey that was not what he expected and through his adventures he may become his own man by growing his ability to make good choices. This book reads more like a fable than a fairytale, but is intertwined as the 2nd of the Grace Lin trilogy and definitely worth reading.
