MEET OUR HEROES

BENJAMIN DODGE

Nate’s sudden death shatters Benjamin’s life in the seventh grade, and he no longer knows how to relate his friends, teachers and parents. Only the hope of unleashing the healing powers of the waters can keep Benjamin from losing himself in unbearable grief. But will the magic work and bring Nate back to life? 

WINSLOW ABATI

Benjamin’s best friend grew up in Indigo Springs, but his parents are from North Africa and France. Annoyingly good in school, Win is initially skeptical about the legend. Then they stumble upon a pioneer’s journal from 150 years ago, and Win’s fluency in French helps Benjamin solve the riddle of the magic waters.

MOON DOG

Moon Dog earned her name when Benjamin and Nate found her standing one night outside their kitchen door. With pale blue eyes and dirty-white fur that seemed to glow in the moonlight, they suspected she was made up of moonbeams. Now that Nate’s gone, could the coyote-like Moon Dog be more than she appears?
