Adrift in Currents Clean and Clear

Wayward Children, Book 10

De: Seanan McGuire

Narrado por: Barrie Kreinik

Giant turtles, impossible ships, and tidal rivers ridden by a Drowned girl in search of a family in the latest in the bestselling Hugo and Nebula Award-winning Wayward Children series from Seanan McGuire.

“Nadya’s story reads like a fairy tale, thanks to narrator Barrie Kreinik, whose Russian accent immerses readers in the story and delivers lines with a smooth, gentle tone reminiscent of a mother reading a storybook to her children.”—Library Journal

Nadya had three mothers: the one who bore her, the country that poisoned her, and the one who adopted her.

Nadya never considered herself less than whole, not until her adoptive parents fitted her with a prosthetic arm against her will, seeking to replace the one she'd been missing from birth.

It was cumbersome; it was uncomfortable; it was wrong.

It wasn't her.

Frustrated and unable to express why, Nadya began to wander, until the day she fell through a door into Belyrreka, the Land Beneath the Lake—and found herself in a world of water, filled with child-eating amphibians, majestic giant turtles, and impossible ships that sailed as happily beneath the surface as on top. In Belyyreka, she found herself understood for who she was: a Drowned Girl, who had made her way to her real home, accepted by the river and its people.

But even in Belyyreka, there are dangers, and trials, and Nadya would soon find herself fighting to keep hold of everything she had come to treasure.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“This is another gem from McGuire.” —Publishers Weekly

another solid entry in the Wayward Children series

the narrator was excellent, the story was engaging, but WHYYYYY Seanan, why make so many sad endings for these amazing children???

Another great story.

You never know if the story will end tragically or happily, but you can trust that the story will be beautiful and will end too soon. I've waited an entire year for this book and was not at all disappointed.

Excellent Addition to the Wayward Children series

I absolutely adore the entire Wayward Children series and this one was no exception. The narration was excellent and the story was so good.

I was really hoping we would get Nadya’s door story after gettting glimpses of her in other books. Like all of the other books, this one made my heart hurt for the children and the things they went through that lead them to their doors.

I was a little disappointed in the ending but only because I wanted more.

Amazing Author

I was introduced to the Wayward children series on Thanksgiving of 2024 I was caught in the series by Christmas. I was extremely eager for the next book and it did not disappoint. I had been craving a story about Nadia's world since her appearance in book two. A story of giant turtles, coming of age, and finding home. I can't wait for the next additions to the series!🧡

such a great series

the latest installment the wayward children series is bittersweet and beautiful, like the previous 9 books.

Perfect narrator

I absolutely loved this story. Nadia is smart and tough and I loved the accent of the narrator, she was simply perfect. The end was sad but makes me eagerly anticipate seeing how she’ll be woven into the overall story of the series.
This is in my opinion a good stand alone book and therefore an entrance to the series. It’s beautiful and sad and you should absolutely pick it up.

Wow!!

I have loved all of these books, but this one was my favorite!!!! This one was the most heartbreaking somehow

Only just partway in and I love it

Nice to have a disabled main character for one, and one who's OK with the way she is for another.

Amazing

I waited for this and I absolutely love it. The whole series is phenomenal. I believe that most people should read these books, whether you are a child in need to be understood. A parent of adopted children, a teacher, absolutely everyone. This is an amazing addition to the series. Beautiful drowned girl!

Wayward Children Series

I must confess, I prefer the first 3 or 4 books of this series. It’s well worth keeping up with though!
