Along the way, Janus faces fears, wonders at new sights, and learns what it means to have courage when everything familiar fades away.From bustling city stations to quiet campfires under endless skies, Janus discovers that adventure isn't just about places you go - it's about the family you travel with and the hope that carries you forward.NOTE TO PARENTS and TEACHERS: The Journey West: Leaving Dixfield gently introduces young readers to the realities of loss and grief through the eyes of a child.
