Away With Words

Sophie Cameron

Sinossi

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.

A Song for August - The...

Sally Denmead

AUGUST WILSON grew up open to  
the creative inspiration in everything 
he encountered: 
in library books, in music, in artworks, 
in the lively conversations 
overheard in the restaurants and barbershops  
lining the Pittsburgh neighborhood  
of his childhood. 
August paid attention. He listened. 
And when he got older, 
he got ideas about what to do 
with everything he’d seen and heard— 
ideas that would make him one  
of the greatest playwrights 
in American history.
