This book was amazing in that it showed that everyone has the power within them to change their own life and your life is only as good as you yourself perceive it to be. When Soupy left home, I don't think they knew just how hard life on the road was going to be. They run into Ramshackle, a 'bo with years of experience on the road under his belt. What comes next is a journey of discovery where Soupy learns to interpret things in the whimsical and fantastic way that Ramshackle does and that their life is what they make it to be.
