I’m reviewing a copy of Say It Out Loud through Random House Children’s and Netgalley:
Charolette Andrew’s doesn’t mind being quiet, in fact she prefers it. When she isn’t speaking people can’t make of her stutter. But when she witnesses bullying on the school bus and doesn't say anything, her silence comes between her and her best friend.
To make matters worse her parents signed her up for musical theater. Charlotte doesn't want to speak onstage, but at least she doesn't stutter when she sings. Then, just as she starts to find her voice, the arts program is cut. Charlotte can't stay silent anymore.
To in order to ease her guilt and to help her classmates Charlotte begins to write anonymous encouraging notes to her classmates. Letters to the school board to save the school musical. And an essay about the end of her best friendship--and her hope that she can still save it.
Words could save Charlotte Andrews and everything she believes in if she just believes in herself enough to speak up.
I give Say It Out Loud five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
