"The Boy and the Samurai" by Erik Christian Haugaard follows the story of a young boy named Seki who discovers a warrior in his midst when a wandering samurai arrives in his village. The encounter brings Seki face-to-face with the world of honor, bravery, and the harsh realities of a samurai’s life. As the boy learns from the samurai’s teachings and adventures, he grapples with themes of loyalty, courage, and the weight of tradition. Set in feudal Japan, this coming-of-age tale explores the bonds formed between the boy and the warrior, ultimately shaping Seki's understanding of honor and self-discovery.
