Mythical Journey is akin
to a fable and folklore tale rolled into one.
The story itself is 155 pages long, with some spacer pages, some pages
also have charcoal/pencil illustrations, also by the author, to offer a visual
aid.
This story centres on
Bibi, a Ponca (otherwise known as a unicorn).
Bibi is different to everyone else, not only a completely different
colour than her peers and family, she questions everything, which Poncas do
not do – Poncas accept what is there and live in the present.
Bibi and her father embark
on a journey under the guidance of a Wise Ponca, so that Bibi can find her
purpose in life. What follows is a
fairly light hearted journey, where Bibi gets to know her father more whilst she
becomes closer to her purpose and nature.
As I side note, I think I
got more out of this book as an adult because I’ve recently been reading a lot
of positive and inspiring books, so I understood the overall concept because I
agree with it (or maybe I just read a lot more into the book than was there?!) Either way it was a page turner with its
gentle manner and storytelling.
In its own right Mythical
Voyage is a lovely upbeat book which evokes folklore and myth along with a fable
of truth. I won’t give the plot away, as
I think this is one you should read and discover for yourself :) Our 10 year old didn’t want to read this with
me as he sees himself past unicorns now, but this one will be read with our 6
year old, I’m hoping he’ll like it as much as I did.
Book synopsis:
When a strange progeny, Bibi, is born within a
colony of fantastic creatures, the Poncas, all witness the beginning of the end
of a long lost legend. But Bibi's peculiar destiny is unknown to all and she
and her father embark on a quest to find the answer: Will they solve the
mystery of Bibi’s existence?"
