It is about a girl who is sent to boarding school after being kept at hospital. Her mother and step-father don't really care much for her and her biological father is in jail. You know nothing about her but you find out more about her while reading on. She tells you about the girls at boarding school and how she begins friendships with some of them without using her voice. Through-out the book you get an idea of what her father did to her to go to jail and she realises that she does not hate him. Therefore she goes to see him and talks for the first time in a long time. It is only in the ending chapter you find out what her name is.
I liked this book because the author uses narrative style like we learnt about in class. It also gives you so much information on some of the characters that you feel a bit like you know them. And you get to see how she grows through-out the book, she begins talking, making friends and feeling more brave. The book is written in first-person which makes it more fun to read because it tells you how she feels or how she felt.
It's a good book by John Marsden.
