The Riverboat and the Shadow of the City
Eddy is tired of living life according to a timetable where every minute has already been planned for him. When he misses his bus one Saturday and discovers a forgotten river landing hidden beneath the city, he climbs aboard an old riverboat and meets the mysterious Pak Din and adventurous Mei. But when a strange shadow begins following their boat through the reflections of Kuala Lumpur, Eddy discovers an unfinished story about a boy who once lived beside the river—and a forgotten promise that could change the way he sees his city, his family, and himself. What begins as a secret escape becomes an unforgettable journey about friendship, memory, courage, and learning that sometimes the most important destinations are the ones you never planned to visit.
