I choose this book book because my cousin had read it and he told me it was a great book. The plot of this book is, that the Kin are following a dying river trying to find land, food, and water. On their way dangerous events happen. So, a brave boy named Po, goes out to the journey to find a way to cross the river. My favorite quote is when the author said, Po lay awake till dawn, miserable with fear." This is my favorite quote because Po was all brave to go, but even he had gotten scared. The author's point-of-view is in third-person. I would recommend this book to people who like to read books that have a lot action and adventure involved because of Po's journey.
