A wonderful adventure that reads like a folktale told around a fire. Wondrous Journeys in Strange Lands follows a young Palestinian protagonist from childhood into mid-adulthood through many trials and tribulations as well as many joys, friendships, and adventures - true to its name, a wondrous journey. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but other than that, I really really enjoyed this.
