When he hears the news that the long war will be over, Mirado decides to return to the village, heading east by train, bus, carriage, and finally by foot. Supported by the kindness of people he meets on the way, he finally arrives, but he sees Paghman Village was completely destroyed by the war--and he can't find Yamo. But one morning as he plays his flute on the street, people gather around, and Mirado hears a familiar voice singing.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"The prevailing mood of loss and longing is lifted by a heartwarming reunion and the hope that spring will bring growth and new life to Pagham." --<i>The Horn Book</i><br><br>"A moving book about kindness, friendship, and hope in the context of conflict and displacement." --<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>"Home calls, and Mirado will answer, no matter the challenges involved in getting back.
