Silas Northover is a child who approaches the world with wide eyes and an infectious grin. He sees magic in the everyday, finding wonder in the rustling of leaves and the sparkle of sunlight on water. His laughter echoes through the house, drawing others into his joy. Silas loves to share his discoveries, tugging at the hands of his siblings and cousins, eager to show them a ladybug crawling on a leaf or a particularly interesting cloud formation.
