The Mountain of Iliad, Author: Lilian Kars
Ilias is a very ordinary boy. But sometimes ordinary children do extraordinary things. As he grows up, Ilias must not only learn to conquer the mountain, but also find his own way and learn what it means to carry your own backpack.
Ilias's Mountain is the story of an ordinary boy named Ilias, who lives with his parents and little sister Ella in a small mountain village. It seems like a carefree village, with a small stream, a village square with a fountain, and a few charming shops. But Ilias's life is far from carefree.
Ilias fears he'll become like his father, angry and frustrated. But Ilias isn't as ordinary as he looks; he wants to do things differently from the grown-ups and their traditions. His friend and mentor, Thomas, the baker, takes Ilias under his wing, and together they make the journey up the mountain. That journey, their conversation, and what happens on the mountaintop not only changes Ilias's perspective, it changes his whole life.
Henry David Thoreau – writer, philosopher, and teacher – once wrote:
"It's not what you look at, it's what you see."
In The Mountain of the Iliad this saying comes to life.
