A lovely little novel that reminded me of Tuck Everlasting meeting Coelho's The Alchemist. The story follows young Tomek, a shopkeeper who embarks on an adventure after a mysterious girl visits his store seeking a drop of water from the magical River Qjar, which flows backwards and upside down. His quest leads him through enchanting and perilous landscapes, reminiscent of Oz, including the Forest of Oblivion, a meadow of deadly scented flowers, and a cursed island. The narrative is brushed with philosophy, exploring themes of love, courage, and the pursuit of dreams. The kind of book you picture being made into a successful 80s movie like Neverending Story.
