Product Description
Inside, Harriet is just as witty and feisty and chatty as any other 11-year-old. She has a quirky sense of humour and a vibrant and playful imagination. But how would anyone ever know?
She has Cerebral Palsy. She can’t walk - she uses a wheelchair.
And her treacherous voice makes her sound as if she also has learning difficulties. So she chooses to be SPEECHLESS.
Making friends at her new Secondary School seems impossible. Embarrassed at not knowing how to communicate with Harriet, her classmates either ignore her or laugh at her. She is the butt of constant jokes.
Charlotte, one of the most popular girls in class, is the first to really try to talk to Harriet. Is this a burgeoning friendship or the beginning of yet another spell of bullying?
When Harriet's mother is rushed into hospital, there is no one left who understands…
Harriet has many obstacles to overcome – and only some of them are physical. Is she up to the challenge?
SPEECHLESS is an emotional rollercoaster. It will make you laugh and cry, cringe and rejoice. It is a story of friendship and bravery, of facing each new day with hope and courage and never, ever assuming you know about someone by how they look on the outside.
A brutally frank but heartwarming story that will stay with you long after you turn the final page.
