Bookroo's summary
Connor faces a daunting challenge: his best friend Branwell is accused of harming his baby sister, now in a coma. Branwell's silence leaves him trapped in a juvenile center, unable to defend himself. Connor is determined to uncover the truth and clear Branwell's name. But how can he prove innocence when Branwell won't speak? As Connor delves deeper, he must navigate a web of secrets and lies, racing against time to find the answers that could save his friend. Will he succeed before it's too late?
From the publisher
Speechless Connor is sure his best friend, Branwell, couldn’t have hurt Branwell’s baby half sister, Nikki. But Nikki lies in a coma, and Branwell is in a juvenile behavioral center, suspected of a horrible crime and unable to utter the words to tell what really happened. Connor is the only one who might be able to break through Branwell’s wall of silence. But how can he prove Branwell didn’t commit the unspeakable act of which he’s accused – when Branwell can’t speak for himself?
