Status Updates From The Silent Journey

I love the prose-style of this!

She met Mr. and Mrs. Tolstoy (no they are not related to the famous author. LOL.) and now she is close to find her Tato (papa in ukrainian).

I'm almost there. She meet the kids and now on thge quest to find her Tato. I might add some descriptions, but we'll see after I passed this second round of proofreading.

Poor Anika. Alone and scare in the big city of Manhatten New York. But it didn't stop her from searching for her friend and her Tato and suriving at the same time.

I’m almost halfway to the mid of the book. I loved adding little Easter eggs or familiar literature classic mentioned in the scene🤭 It was fun to include in the book.
