"Utterly unique and movingly memorable, a wonderful story
about what happens when we take control of our own narrative, and
find ways to communicate across the gaps in language. Clever,
brilliantly written, and thought-provoking, it will stay with you."
– Sinéad O’Hart, author of The Time Tider Set in a world where
words appear physically when people speak, AWAY WITH WORDS explores
the importance of communication and being there for those we love.
Gala and her dad, Jordi, have just moved from home in Cataluña to
a town in Scotland, to live with Jordi’s boyfriend Ryan. Gala
doesn’t speak much English, and feels lost, lonely and unable to
be her usual funny self. Until she befriends Natalie, a girl with
selective mutism. The two girls find their own ways to communicate,
which includes collecting other people's discarded words. They use
the words to write anonymous supportive poems for their classmates,
but then someone begins leaving nasty messages using the same
method – and the girls are blamed. Gala has finally started
adapting to her new life in Scotland and is determined to find the
culprit. Can she and Natalie show the school who they really are?
An intriguing, thoughtful and lyrical exploration of how we express
ourselves, for fans of Katya Balen, A POCKETFUL OF STARS and Lisa
Thompson. PRAISE FOR AWAY WITH WORDS: "One of the most beautiful
explorations of language, the power of words, and communication in
general I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Brave, clever, and
innovative, Away With Words demonstrates the very best of what
children's fiction can do – it's pure, lyrical magic from start
to finish." – Zoe Markham, Netgalley “It has been fantastic to
read this novel. As someone who is a communication specialist and
spends a lot of time helping children and young people to adapt and
learn how they can better interact, this is a book that might go
some way to helping the wider world understand the challenges those
with selective mutism face and how we can better support them.â€
– Eimear Monahan, Paediatric Speech and Language Therapist "A
page-turning book about finding your place & your voice, it’s
about the power & the pain & the colour of language too. I
loved it." – Perdita Cargill, author of Diary of an Accidental
Witch "Sophie Cameron wrote another beautiful book, so full of
meaning and emotion. I adored it and I will be recommending it
non-stop." – Caleb P., librarian
