After a storm engulfs his village, a Vietnamese boy has glimmers of a new calling in this spare middle-grade novel written with authenticity and grace.
Every day, Tinh heads out to sea with his father to catch fish for their family and the market. While he may miss his simple life, flying kites with other children on the beach, Tinh is proud to work alongside Ba. Then a fierce storm strikes, and Ba entrusts Tinh to secure the family vessel, but the boy panics and runs away. It will take courage and faith to salvage the bamboo boat, win back Ba's confidence, and return to sea. This graceful tale lyrically narrates a young Vietnamese boy's literal and spiritual coming-of-age.

The Buddha's Diamonds
I've enjoyed several books by the author, for their glimpse into other cultures. This one didn't quite make it. A young Cambodian boy learns about responsibility after the family's boat is damaged in a storm. The story just didn't get off the ground--we don't empathize with the characters and the foreign culture and introduction of Buddhism just don't grab hold. I can't imagine any child understanding or liking this story.
