NEWBERY HONOR AWARD WINNER BEST OF THE YEAR: NPR - Booklist - School Library Journal - Chicago Public Library - Evanston Public Library - Kirkus - Wall Street Journal The Silk Road comes to life in this picaresque epic adventure with twists and turns and a wonderful surprise ending from Printz Medalist Daniel Nayeri This is the tale of an exciting journey along the Silk Road with a young Monk and his newfound guardian, Samir, a larger than life character and the so-called "Seller of Dreams". The man is a scammer; his biggest skill being the ability to talk his way into getting what he wants. While that talking did save Monkey's life, it has left a lot of people furious with Samir-- furious enough to hire assassins. Monkey decides to try and save Samir from the attempts on his life--as a way to pay off his debt! If he can save Samir six times, he'll be a free man...but will they all survive that long? Fans of Salman Rushdie's Haroun and The Sea of Stories and The Little Prince will fall in love with the bond between Monkey and Samir--in this swashbuckling all-ages page-turner from national bestseller Daniel Nayeri and featuring full-color illustrations from Daniel Miyares. P R A I S E "Adventurous, funny and nimble. Daniel Nayeri understands this relationship between storytelling and magic, and finds every opportunity to celebrate it. " --The New York Times "Daniel Nayeri and artist Daniel Miyares conjure a richly colored 11th-century realm of merchants and swindlers, camels and donkeys, caravanserai and spice bazaars, and the gaudiest array of mercenaries ever assembled in a book for young readers." --The Wall Street Journal 4 STARRED REVIEWS ★"An epic ­adventure with an enduring message about love and family." -- School Library Journal (starred) ★ "Filled with the multicultural hustle and bustle of the Silk Road, enlivened by the unpredictable nature of unreliable storytellers, and adorned with whimsical, colorful illustrations, this is a strange, wondrous, and creative tale. Can family be found along the Silk Road, or will everyone ultimately betray you? An enticing taste of a rich historical world."" --Kirkus (starred) ★ "Readers will find more than expected, including tender philosophies, complex characterizations, heaps of humor, a masterful twist, and most importantly, just a great story, beautifully told." --Booklist (starred) ★ "Blends playful humor, solid pacing, and fully realized characters into a witty, assassin-studded traveler's yarn that also serves as a memorable, lively portrait of the 11th-century Silk Road." --Publishers Weekly (starred) "Nayeri's immersive writing style brings a you-are-there energy to the depiction of the harsh but gorgeous environment of the Silk Road, and an informative author's note further details the geography of the trail, its economic and social value, and the many people who traversed it. The book ends with a simple but profound reminder that love comes in many forms, it is almost always messy and unpredictable, and it is almost always worth every effort toward it." --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Daniel Nayeri has a gift. The child that reads this will not forget it, and how many books that come out for this age range can say the same? Is there anything else out there like it? I will simply say this: If you hand this book to someone, they will definitely have an opinion of it. You may, in fact, end up loving it in the end, or cursing it to the heavens. A tome with a soul tied inextricably to that of its titular character. Better read it." --Betsy Bird, SLJ's Fuse 8 Blog

Trained at the Academy of Stillness, taught to suppress his every feeling, and burdened with a locket that pulses but never speaks, he lives in a world that rewards silence and punishes sensitivity.

The Moral Lessons in Cinderella Stories
The Moral Lessons in Cinderella Stories Introduction Summary - The Moral Lessons in Cinderella Stories In a quiet attic lit only by moonlight, Cinderella begins her story with a whispered wish-proof that the smallest spark of hope can glow brighter than any palace firework. Her world is humble: broom bristles, cracked teacups, and a narrow window carved with stars. Yet inside that limited space she stores an unlimited kindness that will, page by page, turn ordinary moments into extraordinary magic. This book invites us to look past the famous glitter-the pumpkin carriage, the shimmering gown, the glass slipper that fits like sunrise-to the gentle truths guiding every step of her journey. Across nineteen chapters we travel beside Cinderella through joys and trials, each section shining a lantern on a different virtue: kindness that never asks for applause, honesty that stands firm, hope that refuses to dim, patience that waits with brave quiet, forgiveness that unlocks rusty doors, gratitude that multiplies happiness, helpfulness that weaves community, humility that meets every gaze at eye level, and self-belief that plants gardens of possibility. These lessons are not decorations for castle halls; they are pocket-sized treasures that belong equally to farmers and city dwellers, to readers of every age. We watch Cinderella turn a vacant meadow into a children's garden blooming with laughter, convert a carriage house into an open kitchen where generosity seasons every bowl of soup, and stroll the market without her crown so she can greet neighbors as equals. She mends birds' wings, steadies frightened children, and chooses to hope over bitterness, proving that real magic begins with the quiet declaration, "I believe." The tale is retold because every new reader brings fresh dreams that need a guiding star. Whenever life feels rushed, harsh, or lonely, Cinderella reminds us that gentle strength can outshine noisy power, that patience breeds miracles, and that kindness sent into the world will circle back like doves returning to their roof. Keep the curtains open to these pages and let them rekindle the magic already living within you, for every hopeful heart.
