The year is 1696 and you live with your family high in the mountains of Tibet. Your father is about to leave as part of a trading caravan. He is headed through the Himalayas all the way to India. The journey will be difficult. You want to go along, but should you ask your father? He might say you are too young. If he does should you set off on your own? Either way, you will face many difficult choices as you travel with the caravan. Do you have the courage to face wild animals, falling rocks, and maybe even bandits?
