ADRIFT IN CURRENTS CLEAN AND CLEAR Wayward Children, Book 10

As Barrie Kreinik narrates Book 10 in the Wayward Children series, listeners meet Nadya, a one-armed orphan who gets adopted. But even in her new home Nadya feels incomplete and "other." Kreinik gives a stellar performance as a child who is desperate to understand her place. One day, Nadya goes wandering to the river, where she feels at home despite her missing arm. She tumbles through an underwater portal to the land of Belyyreka, where she's accepted as one of the "drowned girls." Listeners will revel in Nadya's happiness and sense of purpose as expressed in Kreinik's narration. Kreinik also captures Nadya's conflict. Can she stay in Belyyreka with its magical talking creatures, or will her former life call her back? L.M.G. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2025]
