So Minli has made the typical parents' worst nightmare come true: She has run off to be with the talking goldfish and the dragons while searching for the "Old Man on the Moon", a character in a story. It's the beginning of an adventure, quite possibly one that has to do with Coming of Age.
*Incoming seriousness* I believe that as Minli progresses and matures through this journey she will learn more about herself and life as a whole. She will return to her home wiser than she was in the beginning of the story. *Departing seriousness* This world that's been created in the novel has such a dreamy, childlike feel, and it's such a great escape from all of the stresses of college and growing up. I'm not that far into the story at the moment, but when I start reading, it's difficult to stop. If the demands of college and sleep weren't so high, I would have finished it by now. However, I look forward to reading more and progressing though this plot with Minli (and possibly binge-reading this on a free day). ^~^
