Their parents warned that many children had not returned home, lost somewhere during the arduous journey, never to be found.\u003cbr\u003eThe Riddles found etched into stone along the way will challenge each of their perceptions of reality, trust, and themselves. The Somethings and The Nothings will try to trick, mislead, help, guide, and sometimes entertain them during their travels. They will have to rely on their inner strength and the strength of their friendship if they wish to navigate The Crossing without being lost. Together, Brynn, Paulo and Ryu must decide how to find their way home, and in the end, together they must choose which one of them won't be going home at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOriginally from Canada, Nikki Aksamit is a free-lance writer and author living in Chandler, AZ with her wonderfully exhausting children Rook, Rohan and Reesyn.
