Overall, my favorite book by Sharon Creech, and would recommend. The Wanderer’s monologue divides into two distinct parts, the first being a lament for his exile and the loss of kin, friends, home, and the generosity of his king. When the God of the desert, Akhran the Wanderer, declares that two clans must band together despite their centuries-old rivalry, their first response is outrage. Its really kind of a book you would read underneath a tree as the summer winds cool you down. Here is the epic tale of the Great War of the Gods - and the proud people upon whom the fate of the world depends. Now one of the Gods has upset the balance of power, leaving the others scrambling for control in the new order. The Wanderer by Sharon Creech is a book keeping you on the edge of your seat. An exceptional debut novel that explores the stifled, unspoken feelings of a music teacher and his former. Though each god possessed different abilities, each was all-powerful within his realm. Named a Best Book of the Year by The Advocate. Since time began, twenty Gods have ruled the universe.
