Speak to Me: Mute, witty and dangerous

New classmate Lauren is mute, witty and dangerous to know. Anthony learns Lauren’s special way of communicating and then blows hot and cold over being friends. Their volatile friendship catapults Anthony into the Head’s office with a serious charge that could affect his life forever. “A thriller, a romance and all-round good read for people of all ages to enjoy.” N. I. Smith lives in the Cotswolds and studied Creative Writing at the University of Nottingham and Bath Spa University. “The fact that Lauren has cerebral palsy is purely incidental. She’s feisty and she knows exactly what she wants. She draws you into her world which is strange and different.”
