Description

Mandy is used to her parents fostering difficult children, but never one like J'hon. He is dressed in black, arrives from nowhere and can't speak. Then Mandy realises that he is communicating with her - wordlessly, silently, direct to her mind.

Quick Summary

A mysterious foster boy who communicates only through telepathy turns Mandy's ordinary family life upside down. Kids will be hooked by the puzzle of who J'hon really is and the heartwarming friendship that develops through silent, mind-to-mind conversations. If your kid loves the mysterious atmosphere and emotional depth of "A Monster Calls" or the supernatural friendships in "Bridge to Terabithia," they'll be captivated by this story. Perfect for readers in grades 4-6 who want a quick but gripping read with an AR level of 3.8.
