The Sound of Home (Chosen Hearts: The Purpose Chronicles, Band 6) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Back home in Barbados, Ajani Alleyne’s voice sounded like everybody he loved. In Georgia, it makes everybody laugh.

Ajani misses the sea, the cricket pitch, and Granny’s island all around him. On his first week at Rockbridge Elementary, he says he has to “irun” his shirt, and the whole class bursts out laughing. So Ajani makes a plan: practice “American” words in the mirror every night, ask everyone to call him “K,” hide his cricket bat under the bed, and try out for football to fit in. Granny isn’t fooled. “Who is dis boy in my kitchen, talkin’ so?”

Then, on a blazing hot practice day, Ajani pushes too hard to impress the coach and collapses. He wakes on a shore that looks just like home, where an angel named Celeste is waiting, and people from every nation are speaking every language, and somehow every word sounds like home.

Back at school, a whispering voice warns him to stay quiet. But when Mirlande, a new girl from Haiti, starts getting laughed at for the way she talks, Ajani has to decide whether he’s brave enough to speak up in his own voice.

The Sound of Home is Book Six in the Chosen Hearts: The Purpose Chronicles series, a faith-filled chapter book series for readers ages 8–10 about second chances, courage, and the purpose God places in every child’s heart. Anchored in Ephesians 2:19: “You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.”

Perfect for any child who has ever been the new kid, and for every kid learning to be proud of where they come from.
