Customer Reviews

A fun and thoughtful book

This is a story about a boy who just doesn'tspeak. It's a story about friendship most of all, that you can doa lot without talking, but also about prejudices and the labels we puton people even though we know nothing about them. I liked this story very much because it was fun to read and was a bit different from other children's books that I've read, you didn't feel sorry for this little boy because he will not talk. Instead you get amazed how many things children can do without using words. END
