Book excerpt: Summary: There was a city where the song of life was heard all the time, but now quiet has taken over. This area, called the "Silent City," is only a shell of what it used to be. People there have only vague memories of how comforting it was to cry openly, how warm it was to laugh, and how much fun it was to talk. A little girl named Lila came in as a bright spot of hope in this otherwise calm place. Lila had a voice that could break through the wall of silence that had surrounded the city's spirit. No one else in the Silent City could match it. The road Lila took shows how strong optimism is and how strong the human spirit is. Lila set out on a trip to undo the sorcerer's curse that had silenced the city's voices. Milo, her loyal companion and a young man who was good at reading lips and the language of gestures, followed her. As Lila and Milo walked through rivers that repeated the world's silence and forests where echoes slept, they faced the loneliness that had enveloped their home. After their trip, they got to the sorcerer's castle, which was in the middle of the silence. There, they found a shocking but important truth. The magician, who had been a figure of mystery and fear, was shown to be a victim of his own spell. The silence he had forced was what pulled him in. Because Lila was kind and had a beautiful voice, she helped the magician see how stupid he had been. They were able to break the curse and fill the Silent City with music, laughter, and sound. The change that happened in The Silent City is a lesson of how strong friendship, kindness, and the ability to hear and understand are. Lila's story shows us that hope can be heard even in the heaviest silence and that kindness and understanding can break even the strongest curses. The city used to be known for being very quiet, but now it values every wind sound and every laugh from its people. They realized that their real power was in working together and loving each other. This shows how the world can change when people are free to speak their minds and hearts are open. Chapter 1: The Trickster On a faraway land, there used to be a thriving metropolis called the Silent City. But it wasn't always quiet. It used to be a busy place where lots of things happened. Imagine going down a street where people are talking and laughing, musicians are playing happy music, and store owners are calling people over to check out their goods. Kids were playing in the street, and their cries and laughs could be heard through the building walls. There was a lovely mix of these sounds in the air as birds chirped in the trees. The city honored music and life every day. Some people did not like the noise, though. There was a strong witch who lived far from the city and liked silence more than any sound. He thought that noise from cities disturbed the peace of the land, while quiet was pure. Hearing the sounds of life and happiness made him even more angry. He believed that the city's residents were so happy and loud, and that the noise wasn't needed. He had not heard happiness or music in a long time, and he wished the world could stay as quiet as it was. At night, when the moon was out, the magician said he couldn't stand the noise from the city any longer. With a wave of his magic stick and a spell in a language no one knew, he cast a strong spell. Unlike any other magic, this one was a curse that could stop all sound. As the magic spread through the city, all sounds, like giggles, whispers, and music, became quiet. When the sun came up the next day, the city was quiet. They found out they were deaf and hard of hearing when they woke up. There was no more music, no more laughter from the kids, and the birds didn't sound like they could be heard. The city, which used to be busy, was now very quiet. The wizard felt good about what he had done and watched from afar. He thought that by getting rid of the noise, the land was once again peaceful. He didn't know, though, that the sounds of the city were lively and exciting. The city was empty and noisy without them. People were upset because they missed the part of their lives that gave them purpose. They were no longer happy or like they belonged, and they could not hear or talk because of the curse. There was still hope, though, because in the silence, a little girl named Lila found something amazing about herself that could change everything. Chapter 2: How Lila Was Found. Lila, a little girl, lived in a place where being still was normal. Everything in her small apartment in the Silent City was as quiet as it could be. Because of the sorcerer's curse, people can't remember the tune of a song or the sound of a loved one laughing. But Lila was different. Lila realized one day that she had a gift that no one else in the city had. This was while everyone else was hidden by the background noise of the city. Like everything else in the Silent City, it was very quiet. Lila loved being in her yard because the flowers and plants seemed to hear her even when she couldn't. Her basic way of meeting a flower was "hello," and she bowed to say it. She didn't expect anything in return. She was shocked to see that the flower looked like it was dancing, gently moving as if it could hear her. Lila was shocked. She tried to whisper again, first to one flower and then to another. Each time she spoke, the flowers moved slowly in answer. It looked like her words were a light breeze that made them come alive. Lila was thrilled as she played around with her new skill. She sang a well-known tune when music filled the air before the curse. As she hummed, the garden seemed to come to life. The flowers swayed more wildly, and the trees looked like they were leaning in closer to hear the sound that had become so strange in their area. Lila found it hard to believe. In a place where sounds have been taken away, her voice might break the silence. When Lila found out this, she was both excited and motivated. She thought her voice might be able to do more than just make the flowers dance. The sounds that the city had lost might be able to be brought back by her voice. There was a spell on the Silent City that made it very quiet. She might be able to break the magic. Lila knew this wasn't going to be simple. She knew her trip would be hard, but the thought of bringing back the voice of her city, along with laughter, music, and other happy sounds of life, gave her strength. No matter what it took, she was going to break the curse. Following the sound inside her head, Lila was ready to go on a trip that could change everything. She found something that gave her hope, even though she was only a child. Hope can be the strongest force of all.
