Reading Together at Waterstone

In the tradition of epic fantasy fiction, a breathtaking adventure emerges, populated by unforgettable characters in a mythical world threatened by an unspeakable secret. The world is drying up, and twelve-year-old Tad, a member of the Fisher Tribe who stands only a few inches tall, initially fails to notice the change. Preoccupied with practicing his new spear, arguing with his sister Birdie, and living a typical youngling's life, Tad pays little heed to the gradual slowing of streams or the sudden dwindling of ponds.

However, Tad begins to experience strange flashbacks - glimpses of a past that he knows cannot be his own. These "rememberings" haunt him, and he and Birdie embark on an adventure marked by great sorrows, fierce battles, and unbreakable friendships. Through this remarkable rite of passage, Tad comes to know his true self and the destiny that awaits him.

For only Tad can restore the water and save the forests, animals, and Tribes. Only he can retrieve the Waterstone, the key to reversing the drying of the world. As Tad and Birdie navigate this perilous quest, they confront unspeakable secrets and uncover the truth about Tad's mysterious origins. Their journey challenges them to grow in ways they never imagined, forging an unbreakable bond that will be tested by the weight of their responsibility.

In this captivating fantasy, Tad's coming-of-age story is woven seamlessly with the fate of the entire mythical world. The vivid descriptions and well-developed characters draw the reader into a realm where the stakes are high, and the consequences of failure are unthinkable. Tad's courage, resilience, and self-discovery serve as a powerful narrative that explores the themes of identity, destiny, and the delicate balance of the natural world.
