SAVING THE WORLD, ONE PERSON AT A TIME
Teenage orphan Rei is training to become the greatest martial artist ever, but his trainer is more interested in developing his mind, spirit, and - ugh! - heart than his thrashing, raging, fighting moves! And Rei's master turns out to be a real animal... In fact, Rei never knows what animal he's going to turn into next!
ON 6 QUESTS...
Rei confronts the biggest crises facing humanity--from wars fought by children to global warming to AIDS.
ON 6 JOURNEYS...
Rei explores the corners of the world, where he wrestles a jaguar, blushes a lot around girls, pursues polluters, babysits, gets kidnapped by soldiers, falls in love, investigates corruption, travels with tapirs, is thrown to the sharks, stretches his wings, rescues orphans, works on his tan, and even undergoes a shocking transformation himself... And no, it's not what you think!
