Silence is Goldfish

by Annabel Pitcher - £12.99  Hachette Children's Group (2015)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781780620008 | ISBN 10: 1780620004

The third YA novel from the bestselling and prizewinning author of My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece and Ketchup Clouds, in which Tessie-T discovers she's a Pluto and her parents wanted a Mercury or Venus, at least.
 
My name is Tess Turner - at least, that's what I've always been told.
 
I have a voice but it isn't mine. It used to say things so I'd fit in, to please my parents, to please my teachers. It used to tell the universe I was something I wasn't. It lied.
 
It never occurred to me that everyone else was lying too. But the words that really hurt weren't the lies: it was six hundred and seventeen words of truth that turned my world upside down.
 
Words scare me, the lies and the truth, so I decided to stop using them. I am Pluto. Silent. Inaccessible. Billions of miles away from everything I thought I knew.
 
Tessie-T has never really felt she fitted in and after what she read that night on her father's blog she knows for certain that she never will. How she deals with her discovery makes an entirely riveting, heart-breaking story told through Tess's eyes as she tries to find her place in the world.
