Description
The Blabber Mouth Collection by Morris Gleitzman is a funny, touching, and wonderfully unconventional middle-grade series about Rowena Batts — a feisty, quick-tempered girl with a big personality and one major challenge: she was born unable to speak. That hasn’t stopped her from getting into all sorts of hilarious and heartfelt scrapes, mostly thanks to her outspoken thoughts, a vivid imagination, and a tendency to act before thinking.
Rowena’s biggest dilemma, however, is how to deal with her embarrassing dad. From his dreadful shirts to his habit of bursting into song in public, Rowena’s long-suffering patience is put to the test. But underneath the humour and lively storytelling, Morris Gleitzman sensitively explores themes of family, disability, identity, and resilience, crafting a character readers will cheer for.
A brilliant choice for young readers who enjoy witty, offbeat stories with heart, The Blabber Mouth Collection proves that not having a voice doesn’t mean you can’t make yourself heard.
