Marco has grown up traveling the world, but he and his father remain loyal to their home country, Samavia. When his father sends Marco on an important journey for their country, Marco and his faithful friend set off, hoping that one day, their prince will return.

I love this story! The JourneyForth version is best, because it skips some buddhist stuff. Marco is a fun character to spend time with and the story is interesting. It's also refreshing (in both this book and Burnett's A Little Princess to see children having a good relationship with their parents. Definitely a re-read.
