A Quiet Kind of Thunder

A Quiet Kind of Thunder

Perfect for fans of Morgan Matson and Jandy Nelson.

A girl who canâ€™t speak and a boy who canâ€™t hear go on a journey of self-discovery and find support with each other in this gripping, emotionally resonant novel for â€œreaders who enjoyed John Greenâ€™s Turtles All the Way Downâ€ (Booklist) from bestselling author Sara Barnard.

Steffi doesnâ€™t talk, but she has so much to say.
Rhys canâ€™t hear, but he can listen.

Steffi has been a selective mute for most of her life. The conditionâ€™s name has always felt ironic to her, because she certainly does not â€œselectâ€ not to speak. In fact, she would give anything to be able to speak as easily and often as everyone around her can. She suffers from crippling anxiety, and uncontrollably, in most situations simply canâ€™t open her mouth to get out the words.

Steffiâ€™s been silent for so long that she feels completely invisible. But Rhys, the new boy at school, sees her. Heâ€™s deaf, and her knowledge of basic sign language means that sheâ€™s assigned to help him acclimate. To Rhys, it doesnâ€™t matter that Steffi doesnâ€™t talk. As they find ways to communicate, Steffi discovers that she does have a voice, and that sheâ€™s falling in love with the one person who makes her feel brave enough to use it. But as she starts to overcome a lifelong challenge, sheâ€™ll soon confront questions about the nature of her own identity and the very essence of what it is to know another person.
