The Weeds and Walls

di Jamie F Bell (Autore)

The Arts Incubator, 2025

Starting over in a new town is never easy, especially for ten-year-old Tony, who feels small and adrift in a sea of unfamiliar faces. On his perfectly tidy new street, neighbors keep to themselves, their faces quiet and closed off. But at the very end, a neglected garden—wild with weeds and whispers of the past—beckons Tony with its tangle of mystery. It's here, amidst crumbling stone and overgrown vines, that he uncovers cryptic messages. Single words like "Remember" and "Bloom," tucked away like forgotten treasures, hint at a secret history and a deeper reason for the street's quiet isolation. Tony soon realizes these aren't just old notes; they're clues to a puzzle that seems to explain the invisible walls between his neighbors. Armed with curiosity and a growing sense of purpose, Tony embarks on a quest to decipher the garden's secrets. Can one new kid help an entire community rediscover the profound dignity found in connection, reminding everyone that even the smallest hands can cultivate a vibrant neighborhood, one forgotten message at a time? This short story also contains a discussion guide for group reflection, ideal for families, book clubs, groups and classes.
