First line: Mira? Mira, is everything OK?
Why you should read this book: Mira suffers from selective mutism: she has no trouble expressing herself at home--she spends hours creating original animations and uploading them to the internet--but she's never been able to speak out loud in school. It doesn't help that her former best friend Chloe has become her biggest bully and is also living in her house and kissing up to her mom. But Mira manages to make one friend who's willing to work around her disabilities, and a new therapist who sees her and understands what she's going through, and suddenly she's expressing herself all over the place.
Why you shouldn't read this book: You think children should be seen and not heard.
