WEIRD SAD AND SILENT by Alison McGee, read by Krysta Gonsalez

I count on sensitive novels from Alison McGhee. WEIRD SAD AND SILENT is one such, the kind of middle grade contemporary that reaches into the heart. It begins with a quirky ten-year-old, Daisy Jackson who loves to use Roman numerals, has a “future cat” named Rumble Paws, whose best friends at school are adults and is known two provoking bullies at her school as Weird Sad Silent. McGhee teases out the story behind her story including that of her mother’s ex-boyfriend who still terrifies her. The audio, read by Krysta Gonsalez, will make the heroine enter your heart.
