Stranger Truths #7: The City Under the Market

In Lagos, Gabe is writing about the engineering, trade, and daily brilliance that keep whole neighborhoods moving on water.

Beneath the busy market, however, another route seems to be counting names. The children follow a hidden meeting-path into a mystery about people the public city never recorded.

Then a sound from the market raises questions Gabe has avoided—and changes what the triplets believe about the search for Sol.
