Being ignored by her old friends while she tries to fit in at a new school. And how ha...rd it is to adjust to being deaf - especially when her family keep acting like she isn't. Then Demi meets Ethan, who doesn't seem to care that she's different. But she can't hear what his friends are whispering about her. Can Demi trust him - or is she out of her depth?

NZ Review |
Whisper is a profoundly moving, thought-provoking, realistic novel. Being hearing impaired myself for most of my life I completely related to the roller-coaster ride of losing one's hearing. This book is a must-read for all and will truly open up a world that is louder, deeper and even more resonant than before. --Dame Evelyn Glennie I loved this moving story--it's full of heart and humour, and Demi is unforgettable. --Fiona Wood, co-author, Take Three Girls |
