Words We Don't Say
Autor K. J. Reillyen Paperback – 30 sep 2019 – vârsta de la 12 ani
Ever
since
the
thing
that
happened,
there
are
certain
people
he
hasn't
been
able
to
talk
to
in
person.
Sure,
he
shows
up
at
school,
does
his
mandatory
volunteer
hours
at
the
soup
kitchen,
and
spends
pretty
much
every
moment
thinking
about
Eli,
the
most
amazing
girl
in
the
world.
But
that
doesn't
mean
he's
keeping
it
together,
or
even
that
he
has
any
friends.
So
instead
of
hanging
out
with
people
in
real
life,
he
drafts
text
messages.
But
he
never
presses
send.
As
dismal
as
sophomore
year
was
for
Joel,
he
doesn't
see
how
junior
year
will
be
any
better.
For
starters,
Eli
doesn't
know
how
he
feels
about
her,
his
best
friend
Andy's
gone,
and
he
basically
bombed
the
SATs.
But
as
Joel
spends
more
time
at
the
soup
kitchen
with
Eli
and
Benj,
the
new
kid
whose
mouth
seems
to
be
unconnected
to
his
brain,
he
forms
bonds
with
the
people
they
serve
there-including
a
veteran
they
call
Rooster-and
begins
to
understand
that
the
world
is
bigger
than
his
own
pain.
In
this
dazzling,
hilarious,
and
heartbreaking
debut,
Joel
grapples
with
the
aftermath
of
a
tragic
loss
as
he
tries
to
make
sense
of
the
problems
he's
sees
all
around
him
with
the
help
of
banned
books,
Winnie-the-Pooh,
a
field
of
asparagus,
and
many
pairs
of
socks.

Recenzii
"Despite
the
tough
topics,
the
resolution
leaves
room
for
hope
and
growth...
A
high-interest
read
for
its
exploration
of
complex
topics
without
simple
answers."—Kirkus
Reviews
"Joel's voice has a grim, ironic humor that spins from the serious to the quotidian concerns of a sophomore in high school reeling from the aftermath of personal loss... With its spirit of ethical social commitment and its exploration of the what-ifs of being left behind after the death of your important person, this will have broad appeal for teen readers."—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"Joel Higgins's voice is just as strong as Holden [Caulfield]'s, but far more contemporary and far less problematic...It made me cry on two different occasions, definitely a mark of excellence."—NPR
"In a debut filled with heart and wit, Reilly draws a memorable portrait of a teen struggling with big problems beyond his control...This novel traces with remarkable sensitivity how a vulnerable adolescent becomes less absorbed in his own suffering as he reaches out to others."—Publishers Weekly
"Many characters deal with profound grief and devastating loss, which is explored honestly and unflinchingly. All of the teen characters have distinct and authentic voices...Contemporary issues such as PTSD, homeless veterans, and banned books are woven throughout, but never in an overly obvious or preachy manner...Recommended for readers who enjoy thoughtful realistic novels that cover difficult topics."—School Library Journal
