<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Judith stopped talking long ago when Mom left her in the care of beloved Aunt Cora. Going back into a regular fifth-grade classroom won't be easy, but she has her Dog and new friend who will help her through"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Newbery Honor-winning author Patricia Reilly Giff writes a tender, timeless story about a girl who stopped speaking long ago, and how she finds her way back to her voice. For fans of <i>Listening for Lucca, Fish in a Tree, The Rules, </i> and <i>Mockingbird</i>.</b> <p/>Judith lives with her beloved aunt Cora and her faithful Dog on a beautiful island. Years ago, when her mother left, Judith stopped talking. Now she communicates entirely through gestures and taps, and by drawing cartoons, speaking only when she's alone--or with Dog. <p/>This year, Judith faces a big change--leaving her small, special classroom for a regular fifth-grade class. She likes her new teacher, and finds a maybe-friend in a boy named Mason. But Jubilee's wandering feet won't stop until they find her mother. And now she discovers that her mother has moved back to the mainland, nearby. If Jubilee finds her, will her mother's love be what she needs to speak again? <p/>Judith's cartoons, sprinkled throughout, add lightness and humor. <p/>ILA-CBC Choices Reading Lists, Children's Choices<br>Selected for the Kansas NEA Reading Circle Catalog<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Patricia Reilly Giff is the author of many beloved books for children, including the Kids of the Polk Street School books, the Friends and Amigos books, and the Polka Dot Private Eye books.
