Oro has a lot of worries.
When she tries to speak, her stammer gets in the way.
Her mum is in hospital.
And it might all be Oro’s fault.
Now, Oro has been sent to live with her grandpa and has to start at a new school. It’s a disaster. The words won’t come, the other kids laugh, and Oro feels completely alone.
But then she meets Jonny.
As their friendship grows, Oro must decide: will she keep hiding from her voice, or risk finally being heard? And if she does, will it be enough to bring her mum home?
A heartfelt story about friendship, courage and finding your voice, perfect for fans of The Boy at the Back of the Class and Front Desk.
