The Incredible Journey is a classic for a reason, but let's be real: it’s a 'quiet' book. It doesn't rely on gadgets, magic, or snark.
It’s a survival story that respects the reader's intelligence and the animals' instincts. If your kid is a strong reader who doesn't mind a slower burn, this is a 10/10. If they need constant explosions or talking cats, maybe stick to the 90s movie remake first to get them hooked on the story.
