The Sower's Secret
About this ebook
When Anthony and his mom move to the seaside town of Parable Port, they're just hoping for a fresh start. Anthony soon finds out that there's something unusual about this little town: it's a place where Jesus' parables come to life in surprising ways.
The adventure begins when a flock of orange birds stalks Anthony and flowering vines grow everywhere, knocking people out cold with their pollen. In the good old days, the living parables would help the town to flourish. But now? Something or someone is messing with the Parable of the Sower and causing chaos.
With the help of his new friends Duck, J.R., Grace, and Brooklyn, Anthony must uncover clues, decipher riddles, and stay one step ahead of the birds and vines to save the town—before it's too late.
