Whisper by Chrissie Keighery - 2011
Blurb ....
I'm always trying to figure out what's really going on. Always having to fill in the gaps, but never getting all the details. It's like trying to do a jigsaw when I don't even know what the picture is, and I'm missing one of the vital middle pieces.
How do you know if your friends are talking about you behind your back or if a boy likes you? They could act innocent, but you'd know from the rumours. You'd hear the whispers. But what if you couldn't hear those whispers anymore? What if everything you took for granted was gone? Being a teenager is hard enough.
Immediately there is a connection between Demi and the reader. Your heart feels for her. Her story starts with her journey on the tram to her new school, the start of her new life. Demi is now deaf and her new world is closed off, she is frustrated, angry and lonely. Demi lets you see glimpses of her old life and how she is coming to terms that nothing will ever be the same again. Can she still follow her dreams? Will she ever find friends who just 'get' her and will she find someone who just loves her? Hmmm no spoiling here, you will just have to read it for yourself. You won't be disappointed. I loved it.
