Only now and then does someone come along whose silence speaks louder than words, but when they do, they magnify the voice of everyone—and everything—they love.

THE EAGERLY AWAITED SEQUEL TO SHAY THE BRAVE
is coming October 21st!
(Here’s a sneak peek):

Picking up shortly after Shay The Brave, Alexy’s tale follows Alexy and his new friend, Mládà, to distant Indusdorp.

Nurse is on hand to escort the newly orphaned Alexy to what Da believed was an educational opportunity: the orphanage known as Dorp House.

But Dorp House isn’t what anyone back in Oldenshire thought, and Nurse, Alexy, and Mládà are soon ensnared in an exploitative tannery operation run by wealthy Mr. Brisket and his frightening underling, Mr. Crankhouser.

How can they escape? If they do, what would become of all the desperately needy children they’ve met, like Alexy’s new-found friend, Susanna, and her brothers?

And what about that man in the prison’s high tower and the shocking scribbled plea he tosses to the street as Alexy passes by?

If only someone could get word to Da or Shay or even Talí!

October 21, 2025 release day !
