Sinopse

In the riverside town of Driftwood, where houses perch on stilts and walkways weave a watery labyrinth, life flows with the rhythm of the whispering waterways.  But an unnatural silence is spreading, a creeping stillness that threatens to consume the town's vibrant heart.  Kess Willowfern, a young ferryboat operator with river-green eyes and a deep connection to the waterways, feels the river's pulse fading. Guided by the eccentric herbalist Elder Nettle and accompanied by Ripple, her shape-shifting otter companion, Kess embarks on a desperate quest to save her town and the river that breathes life into it.Their journey aboard the *Whispering Willow* takes them upstream, through a series of interconnected waterways and forgotten communities, each shadowed by the encroaching silence.  They encounter crumbling villages built on massive, now silent, waterwheels, their inhabitants struggling to cope with the river's failing health. Fragments of ancient legends, whispers of forgotten pacts, and the cryptic pronouncements of a cantankerous water dragon named Murmur guide them towards the source of the river's suffering: a hidden wellspring, the heart of the waterways, poisoned by generations of neglect.But their quest is fraught with peril. Treacherous rapids and collapsing bridges test their resilience, mirroring the fractured connections within their world. Kess wrestles with self-doubt, Ripple's shape-shifting becomes increasingly erratic, and Elder Nettle struggles to maintain hope in the face of the encroaching silence.  And lurking in the shadows is Corvus Skyborn, a charismatic leader who seeks to exploit the river's power for his own gain, his ambition a chilling reminder of the destructive nature of greed.  As they journey deeper into the heart of the dying river, Kess must learn to listen not only to the fading whispers of the waterways but also to the quiet strength within herself. The fate of Driftwood rests on her ability to decipher the riddles of the silent river, to mend the broken pact between humanity and nature, and to awaken the sleeping magic within.  Dive into the whispering waterways of Driftwood, a world of breathtaking beauty and forgotten magic, and discover the power of listening, the importance of interconnectedness, and the enduring strength of hope in a world on the brink of silence.

As Sundar preached the gospel to the crowd, the monastery guard marched forward and arrested him. Sundar was dragged to the edge of town and hurled to the bottom of an abandoned well. The air was putrid. Desperation and loneliness soon washed over him. Left to die, Sundar leaned against the side of the well and began to pray. Searching since boyhood for the way to God, Sundar Singh found truth in Jesus Christ. At sixteen, the former Sikh became a Christian sadhu, or holy man, and at great risk devoted his life to Christ. With bare feet and few possessions, Sundar crossed the precarious Himalayas between India and Tibet many times, sharing the gospel with Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs -- even thieves. As he traveled, Sundar constantly read the Bible, prayed, and meditated, confident that God was always with him, even in the face of death. Preaching in Asia, Europe, and as far away as America, this Indian saint impacted thousands with his quiet yet bold words and actions.

With a dash of Lemony Snicket, a dollop of the Addams Family, and a hearty dose of adventure, New York Times bestselling author Natalie Lloyd introduces a new series about seven strange and adventurous siblings who tackle problems together—even when their new neighbors try to tear them apart. 
Filled with mystery, humor, and adventure, the first book in this new trilogy is an unforgettable tale of adventure, family, and finding the courage to face any problem heart-first. 
When the Problim children’s ramshackle bungalow in the Swampy Woods goes kaboom, the seven siblings—each born on a different day of the week—have to move into their grandpa’s bizarre old mansion in Lost Cove. No problem! For the Problim children, every problem is a gift!  
But rumors about their family run rampant in the small town: tales of a bitter feud, a hidden treasure, and a certain kind of magic lingering in the halls of #7 Main Street. Their neighbors, the O’Pinions, will do anything to find the secrets lurking inside the Problim household—including sending the seven children to seven different houses on seven different continents!
