Another day of mild breeze and steady sunshine. For his entire life, 14 year-old Esteban had been trapped in his home village on the southern coast of South America.

With every gust of wind and pelting of seawater, Cosmo was quickly losing strength. He’d been on the water for only 2 hours when the skies began to darken, and the temperature dropped rapidly.

“All musicians welcome! Bring your instrument and come rock the holiday with us!” The flyer waved in Tommy’s hand as he closed his eyes against the breeze and envisioned wooing the party with his drumming skill. This could be his chance. This could be the moment he’s been fantasizing about. Not only has Tommy been yearning to find his fit in society, he’s been dreaming of showcasing his talent. The holiday was around the corner and he still had no plans. With no family and a very short list of friends, he assumed he’d be unwrapping presents...
