Before her disappearance, eleven-year-old Riley's mother told him the story of the Whispers, invisible beings who, in exchange for "tributes," will grant people their hearts' desires. When Riley himself hears the Whispers, he's willing to do anything to get Mama back. Riley is an unreliable narrator, but he's a thoroughly sympathetic one, and it's easy to root for his eventual understanding of the truth.
