What the World Doesn't See Bewertungen

Poignant, tender, and utterly absorbing, I defy you not to root for Jake and Maudie. * Lisa Williamson, author of The Art of Being Normal *
What The World Doesn't See is a brave and tender book about loss, family bonds and not judging on first appearance. Jake is such a wonderfully unique and fully-rounded character, who happens to have a learning disability; the sort of character that is so rarely seen - yet is so vitally important - in fiction for young adults. * Joseph Elliott, author of The Good Hawk *
An important and beautiful story about the tight bond between two siblings, and looking beyond a person's disabilities. * Susin Nielsen, author of We Are All Made of Molecules *
An extraordinary story told by an incredible talent. * Jasbinder Bilan, author of Asha and the Spirit Bird *
An incredibly moving read, this beautifully told story explores grief, family and love in a powerful and impactful way. The dual viewpoint gives voice to Jake who has severe learning difficulties in parallel to his older sister Maudie as they embark on a search for their mother. It is valuable for readers to see Jake's reactions when people show a lack understanding or are openly hostile towards him and also when people act with kindness. Jake and Maudie's relationship is touching and their journey is a transition for them both. This book deserves a wide readership. * Penny Joelson, author of I Have No Secrets *
