Waterstone

by Rupp Rebecca (Author)

Synopsis

The world is drying. Tad doesn't even notice it at first. He's too busy playing with his new spear, arguing with his sister, Birdie, and living the normal life of a youngling of the Fisher Tribe. But then he starts to have strange flashbacks - glimpses of the past, memories that he knows can't possibly be his own. For Tad and Birdie, it's the beginning of an extraordinary adventure: an epic journey marked by great sorrow, fierce battles and unbreakable friendships; a thrilling quest that will decide the destiny of Tad's world. For only Tad can restore the water and save the forests and animals and Tribes. Only he can retrieve the Waterstone.
