De: Daniel Nayeri

Narrado por: Daniel Nayeri

A new all-ages adventure tale from Printz Medal Winner, Daniel Nayeri

This is the tale of an exciting journey along the Silk Road with a young Monk and his newfound guardian, Samir, a larger than life character and the so-called "Seller of Dreams". The man is a scammer; his biggest skill being the ability to talk his way into getting what he wants. While that talking did save Monkey's life, it has left a lot of people furious with Samir— furious enough to hire assassins. Monkey decides to try and save Samir from the attempts on his life—as a way to pay off his debt! If he can save Samir six times, he'll be a free man...but will they all survive that long?

For fans of The Little Prince and Salman Rushdie's Haroun and the Sea of Stories.

A good tale

Danial Nayeri has written - and read - a story with action, adventure, developing relationships and insight into those relationships that is easy and comfortable and uplifting.

Outstanding storyteller!

Daniel Nayeri is a master weaver of tales. It’s not only the story, but Daniel as reader that gives you the best of the best. He brings beauty out of ashes in unexpected places, and brings out the humanity of his characters. What a storyteller!!

Fun, Entertaining Story

Read by the author, it’s a great story. Would recommend for middle grades through adult. Lots of action, and tender thought-provoking moments as well.

Never a dull moment

I love the book. A rip-roaring tale that asks the reader to engage, read between the lines, and grow into enduring truths. And—just fun!

Fun adventure on the Silk Road

An enjoyable listen. Listening to Nayeri is like listening to a good story-teller who knows the characters and loves the story. Different from listening to a polished actor. Sweet tale of the relationship between a 12 year old orphan and the crafty merchant who rescues him. Non-stop adventure and plot twists. Reminds me of an Indiana Jones film. Don’t skip the historical context notes at the end.
