The Journey is an uplifting and very thought provoking book. Every teenager and their parents should read this book. The strong point in this book, is the reminder that life is about choice: the good and bad choices that we make and how they can change our lives so quickly. I strongly recommend this book to all. It is a quick but enjoyable read, that leaves you feeling good when you are finished...not something I can say about every book that I read. A job well done Jewel Adams!
