The Whispers by Greg Howard
A middle grade debut that's a heartrending coming-of-age-tale, perfect for fans of Bridge to Terabithia and Counting by 7's. Eleven-year-old Riley believes in the whispers, magical fairies that will grant you wishes if you leave them tributes. Riley has a lot of wishes. He wishes bullies at school would stop picking on him. He wishes Travis, his 8th grade crush, liked him, and Riley wishes he would stop wetting the bed. But most of all, Riley wishes for his mom to come back home. She disappeared a few months ago, and Riley is determined to crack the case. He even meets with a detective, Frank, to go over his witness statement time and time again. Frustrated with the lack of progress in the investigation, Riley decides to take matters into his own hands. So he goes on a camping trip with his friend Gary to find the whispers and ask them to bring his mom back home. But Riley doesn't realize the trip will shake the foundation of everything that he believes in forever.Greg Howard grew up on the South Carolina coast. Georgetown, regarded as the Ghost Capital of the South (seriously...there's a sign), was a constant source of inspiration for his vivid imagination. Greg fled his religious upbringing through the arts: singing, playing the piano, acting, writing songs, and making up stories. Greg and his spouse, Steve, live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their three rescued fur kids, Molly, Toby, and Riley.
