Bookroo's summary
Lizzie is determined to stay silent, refusing to accept her new stepfamily. Her new stepbrothers, Rory and Jake, and their dad, Sam, can't coax a word from her. But when Lizzie meets Great-Gran, a formidable force of nature, her resolve is tested. As Lizzie navigates this new family dynamic, will Great-Gran's stubbornness break through her silence? Discover the unexpected bond that might just change everything for Lizzie in this heartwarming tale of family and resilience.
From the publisher
Lizzie refuses to speak. She doesn’t want to talk to Rory or Jake, her new stepbrothers. Or to Sam, their dad. Or even to her mum. She’s completely fed up with having to join a new family, and nothing can convince her to speak to them. Not football, not pizza, not a new bedroom. That is, until she meets Great-Gran - a member of the new family who is even more stubborn than she is . . .
