Muinji’j Becomes a Man

Muinji’j has been waiting all his life to make this trip to the city with his grandfather, a chance to sell pelts and return to their village with supplies. It’s a long expedition that tests Muinji’j’s reserves of strength, patience, and maturity. And just when he thinks he and his grandfather have faced all of their challenges, the worst happens—his grandfather falls ill and Muinji’j must continue the quest alone.
