Journey Home by Edgar Ramirez

This is not your typical fish out of water story! When pollution in Gary the goldfish’s pond begins to affect his health, his two closest friends come to the rescue. Sheldon the turtle and Meadow the frog hatch a daring plan to rescue Gary from the harmful waters and take him to a cleaner pond. Along the way, they get assistance from a few helpful woodland creatures, and even have a brief run-in with a vicious fox.

The relationships between Gary, Sheldon and Meadow are heartwarming, as are the courageous sacrifices that the turtle and frog make to save their friend. The strong message of friendship in this book can be summed up in Meadow’s own words, “We all use our strengths to support one another.” As they make their perilous journey, even each of the minor characters that the trio meets has its own distinct personality. Besides the overwhelming theme of friendship, this book also emphasizes the negative effects of pollution and the fundamental goodness in people.

Edgar Ramirez is a gifted writer that deftly uses simple words and basic concepts to create a delightful tale with charming characters. Journey home is a wonderful story for children and adults alike.
