Synopsis: Xinyue, his brother Qiliu, and their mother are seekers, hunting aweto--a rare, plantlike treasure--along the legendary Silk Road. After one outing, Xinyue discovers the offspring of a deity that creates aweto--and becomes the little creature's reluctant caretaker. He soon struggles to keep it safe and keep it a secret. And that's before he learns that warriors from the deity's village are on his family's tail...

omigosh the colors!
but ends in cliffhanger (I'll read the next one)
En una antigua y fantástica Ruta de la Seda, una pequeña familia de tres
(mamá y dos hermanos) son cazadores, perdón, buscadores de 'Aweto' (una
planta-cosita que crece sobre deidades de la tierra llamada 'chadolo').
Debo confesar que el 90% del libro estaba profundamente enojada con los
protagonistas buscadores porque causan un dolor sin fin con su trabajo,
robando a los pueblos de aweto (muy valioso por sus propiedades
curativas) y destruyendo su forma de vida en ocasiones.
