The hero of this book is a prune. His journey begins in an ordinary he is picked, packed in a box with the rest of the crop, and carried off to the packing shed. But along the way, his life takes an unexpected turn. When his crate tips over, Prune meets Pica, a magpie. As they travel together, they meet Muskrat. The three soon become friends and begin an epic quest that will teach them much about loyalty, adventure, and courage.
This was a remarkably charming book. It's the simple story of the life of a prune. Seems like an unlikely main character, but Prune is quite personable. This is really a philosophical book, such as Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
