Young Mei longs to travel with her father to the end of the road. Of course she is not permitted to go. Instead she sends along a pebble and her father gives it to a monk who in turn gives it to a sandalwood trader and until the pebble really does reach the end of the road.
An intriguing story.
Wonderful map of the route on the end pages plus historical notes from the author.
*Highly recommend.
Strategy: sequencing
