Mile Twenty-Four

Is it there?

In Alder, the North Road ends at Mile 23. The ditch does not. When ten-year-old Sam Calder finds evidence that the road continues, one small contradiction becomes the beginning of a much larger journey.

Sam’s progression

Sam learns to separate what people say from what the road itself can prove.
