Still, the six year old kept doing chores around his parents' house, even after he learned it could take him years to earn enough money. Then a friend of the family wrote an article in the local newspaper about Ryan's wish to build a well to supply people with safe, clean water. Before long, ripples of goodwill began spreading. People started sending money to help pay for Ryan's well. Ryan was interviewed on television. His dream of a well became an international news story. In Agweo, Uganda, villagers were used to walking a long way every day in search of water. What they found was often brown and smelly and made a lot of people sick.

When they finally meet, an unbreakable bond unites these boys from very different backgrounds, and a long and sometimes life-threatening journey begins.

SOS - Song of the sea
by Stephen CosgroveSOS, song of the sea, is wrapped in the magical premise that whales, dolphins, and other mammals of the sea communicate with one another. Critically, the history of their world is contained in the singing of a masterful song called The Song of the Sea. This history would have been sequestered forever safe from man's prying eyes had not an entire pod of whales elected to beach themselves in protest of the man's on-going devastation of the sea. One whale, Harmony, was chosen to stand off in the deeper waters and record this horrific event into the musical history of their world, The Song of the Sea. Devastated by this loss, Harmony calls for a gathering of all the intelligent contributors to the song, a conclave, where Sandwalkers (mankind) will finally stand trial for all their crimes against nature. SOS is the singing of all the amazing and sometimes tragic events leading to the conclave. Narrated by Harmony, two dolphins, and a marine biologist who ultimately glimpses beyond the veil that has kept mankind from truly understanding the brotherhood of all creatures of the earth, SOS, song of the sea is an amazing ecological fantasy. Written by award-winning children's author Stephen Cosgrove, his first novel.
