at the age of seven. David Nickerson's lively, joyous world Wind Silent, sir, referring only steps away from his front door. His mother sweet voice who cries and squeals of his little sister. The stern teachings of his father, his Aunt Dorothy's rip roaring laughter where sounds he could no longer hear. They were nevertheless indelibly imprinted in his heart and memory, never to be forgotten. Little did. They would suspect that in the ensuing years, his disability would become his greatest asset. Never in his wildest dreams did he imagine that his hearing aid would become an instrument for telepathic communication. And if anybody had told him that one day he would travel to worlds beyond this one and experienced the past, present and future as one, he would have said they were crazy. Certainly events that would change David's life forever are mere hours away. But the means of transport that will take him toe worlds un explored is not an ordinary vehicle. It fits in the palm of his hands, yet can travel to the endless reaches of time and space on a journey that only the soul can take. As guardian of this coveted prize, David will learn that he is not only blessed but cursed. There are others who are willing to die for an to kill for it. Four. Whoever possesses the moon Sellinger and learned his secrets will control the fate of the world. But what about David's fate? Which world will he choose to live in the world of fantasy? Our reality, the other world of hearing are his real time world of silence and what will be the full consequences of his choice? In the end, will he really have a choice? One always does. Port Avalon, June David Nickerson studied his newest treasure, holding it between his thumb and forefinger. The sunlight shining through the open parlor window reflects on each of the gym's perfect planes. Its mysterious beauty dazzles him. Holy cow! I have never seen anything like it. And Dorothy? What kind of Krystle is it? With years of practice, stay with speaks with barely an impediment. The special hearing aid he uses enables him to hear his own vocal vibrations but not discernible words. Still, it gives him a connection to the resonating world around him. The illness that took David's hearing was a grave one, but a spirit prevailed. He worked tirelessly to become a champion signer, an expert lip reader determined not to let his deafness limit him for all other ways. David was a normal boy, right? Curious, athletic, strong willed. Every summer, he spent hours in the sun, surfing and swimming, tending his skin bronze from head to toe, his blond hair bleached almost white. In school. His pension for music coincided nicely with his interest in science and computers. Yet in somewhat of a paradox, David also grew to love the romance of metaphysics, especially in the mystical and mythical powers of crystals. It's called a singer, Dorothy said, and signs the word singer. Why do they call it that? David stares intently at his answer. Read every word on her lips. Dorothy is an adequate signer but struggles to communicate the intricacies of the gym's descriptions and so combines words with sign language.
