Jemma knows who did the murder. She knows because he told her. And she can’t tell anyone.
Fourteen-year-old Jemma has severe cerebral palsy. Unable to communicate or move, she relies on her family and carer for everything. She has a sharp brain and inquisitive nature, and knows all sorts of things about everyone. But when she is confronted with this terrible secret, she is utterly powerless to do anything. Though that might be about to change… A page-turning thriller seen through the eyes of a unique narrator, this is a truly original, heart-rending and compulsive book for young adult readers. Perfect for fans of Wonder, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time and Looking for JJ. Penny Joelson began working with disabled people when she was a teenager, which gave her the inspiration and insight for this book. As well as writing compelling thrillers for teen readers she also teaches creative writing. Find Penny on Twitter: @pennyjoelsonReviews

I really enjoyed reading this book because it was very moving, funny, and betrayal. It felt like a rollercoaster of emotions. I would recommend this book to people who are fans of Penny Joelson’s writing, people who like reading books that various emotions and this book is suitable for people within the age of 11 – 13.

Really good book that keeps you reading to find out what is going to happen. It also makes you think about how it would be to to be like the main character and the good things and the not so good things that come with her condition.

Pretty good, the storyline is quite interesting. An insight in the world of people with cerebral palsy, a disease where you can't move your body.
