Sinopse

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.

    Asleep in Armageddon by Ray Bradbury - Avoid Planetoid 787. Lush and sunny, with fine air and no dangerous beasts, it'll tempt you to curve in for some nice solid-ground sleep. DON'T! 
    You don't want death and you don't expect death. Something goes wrong, your rocket tilts in space, a planetoid jumps up, blackness, movement, hands over the eyes, a violent pulling back of available power in the fore-jets, the crash.... 
    The darkness. In the darkness, the senseless pain. In the pain, the nightmare. 
    He was not unconscious. 
    Your name? asked hidden voices. Sale, he replied in whirling nausea. Leonard Sale. Occupation, cried the voices. Spaceman! he cried, alone in the night. Welcome, said the voices. Welcome, welcome. They faded. 
    He stood up in the wreckage of his ship. It lay like a folded, tattered garment around him. 
    The sun rose and it was morning. 
    Sale pried himself out the small air-lock and stood breathing the atmosphere. Luck. Sheer luck. The air was breathable. An instant's checking showed him that he had two month's supply of food with him. Fine, fine! And this—he fingered at the wreckage. Miracle of miracles! The radio was intact. 
    He stuttered out the message on the sending key. CRASHED ON PLANETOID 787. SALE. SEND HELP. SALE. SEND HELP. 
    The reply came instantly: HELLO, SALE. THIS IS ADDAMS IN MARSPORT. SENDING RESCUE SHIP LOGARITHM. WILL ARRIVE PLANETOID 787 IN SIX DAYS. HANG ON. 
    Sale did a little dance. 
    It was simple as that. One crashed. One had food. One radioed for help. Help came. La! He clapped his hands.

    "I have an idea," she said and with those four words, Ethan Parker’s quiet life was set on fire. 
    Janet Rhodes doesn’t fit in anywhere, least of all in a high school classroom. She's fierce, impulsive, and impossible to ignore, exactly the kind of girl who turns detention into destiny. When she crashes into Ethan’s life, what starts as annoyance becomes intrigue and then something deeper neither of them expected. 
    Thrown together by circumstance and later by choice, Ethan and Janet navigate school, secrets, and the messy reality of growing up too fast. But as their bond deepens, life throws curveballs that no teenager should have to face. 
    Told with sharp dialogue, aching tenderness, and unflinching emotional depth, Ethan & Janet is a powerful story of two teens learning what it means to fight for love, to choose family, and to believe, against all odds, that broken things can still become whole.
