A collection of magical stories from, and that inspire, the life of Charles, a Puerto Rican ‘jibaro’ boy who yearns to travel in search of worldly treasures as extravagant as any ever found.

The story of the treasures Charles finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories can, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life’s path, and, above all, following our dreams.
