Alex and the Wild Paths Alex and the Still Water, (Paperback)

<p><b>Still water doesn't mean safe.</b></p><p>When Alex reaches a wide wetland where the trail simply ends, she has no choice but to cross.<br>The water is calm. The ground looks solid. And every step could be the wrong one.</p><p>As mud shifts and hidden channels pull at her boots, Alex learns that waiting-something that has always kept her safe-can also become dangerous. The only reliable paths are the ones she notices by watching closely: the routes animals use to move through the water without sinking.</p><p>By observing otters and reading the land beneath the surface, Alex must decide when to pause-and when to move-before the wetland traps her for good.</p><p><b>Alex and the Still Water</b> is a quiet, realistic adventure about patience, timing, and learning how to act when calm is no longer enough. With no magic, no talking animals, and no easy rescues, this upper middle-grade novel offers a grounded survival story for readers who enjoy thoughtful challenges and real-world problem solving.</p>
