An Indian boy who tends llamas in a hidden valley in Peru learns the traditions and secrets of his Inca ancestors

The lean-to on the beautiful, wild mountain was a magic place for a boy and an old man to live. They had each other and the animals. But when the Old One fell ill, young Paco had to turn to the kind villagers in the valley below. Paco learned to love his new family there, to love the village with its sunny streets and bright-blue doors. He almost forgot that other, freer world of the mountain -- almost, not quite -- until the day the animals called him.
