I am Natalie. My mom is in a wheel chair, and I live on Anna Maria Island, Florida. I am telling you about this because of an adventure I had. My story will tell you about Alamenea, a place of life or death.

Megan is unusual. She's not like the other kids--she sees the beauty of words, she understands the meaningful way in which they can be put. There's only one problem--she's never spoken before. Read the story to learn what happens to Megan and how she finds the courage to use her voice to speak the words she's yearned to for so long.
