A silent stream. A forest in need. A boy who listens.

Back in the Smokies for a fall visit, Brayden finds the creekbed dry and the woods strangely quiet. With Baxter's help, he follows a thread of small clues to a dam of trash blocking the flow of life. Clearing the blockage takes patience, teamwork, and care. As the water returns, so do the sounds of the forest.

The Brayden and the Bear trilogy offers nature-filled adventures with gentle mystery and heart.
