In order to avoid having to give a speech in class, a boy pretends he has taken a vow of silence in support of a cause. When the adults show interest, he latches on to the cause of child soldiers. His teacher assigns an essay and he begins to research the issue in earnest. When he learns what children his age suffer, the vow becomes serious. A excellent book for teachers or parents to share with middle grade students. Well researched. Fairly obviously written as a teaching tool so it may not appeal to independent readers. I thought it was a terrific book. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

Commended for the 2008 Best Books for Kids and Teens, short-listed for the 2008 Snow Willow Award and Ann Connor Brimer Award "No one pays much attention to you if you don't have much to say, so there was no way I could have predicted what would happen when I stopped talking altogether." When his teacher announces that it's time for the yearly class speeches, Griffin Maxwell starts to sweat. His past experience with the dreaded speech was humiliating, to say the least, and he just knows there's no way he can go through that again. So Griffin's best friend, Bryan, comes up with a solution - one that's so simple it just has to work. But neither boy can begin to predict the bizarre chain of events that will be set in place when Griffin goes along with the idea. From squaring off with the school bully to reading a teacher's private letters, Griffin Maxwell will have to face things he never imagined, and all without saying a word!
