But when her words nearly cost a fellow student his life, Chelsea decides to take a vow of silence. She thrives on collecting other peoples secrets (and blabbing them) the way some girls collect shoes or boys collect vintage comic books. While Kristen is known for being beautiful and the girl everyone want to be, Chelsea is known for being the school's gossip queen. How we use our words is just one way we define who we are as a person but there are times when words aren't enough and action is required.Ĭhelsea Knot is your typical teenager whose main focus is on being popular and the coveted position she holds as being BFF to Miss Popularity herself, Kristen. Our words have the capacity to build up or tear down, to encourage or destroy.
Speechless is a poignant example of the power that words can have. This cover is so unique! It's minimalist but it incorporates several elements of the story which is why I think it works. I've been eagerly awaiting this sophomore offering from Hannah Harrington (Saving June was one of my favorite reads of 2011) and Speechless does not disappoint!
