Something inside Alice is broken: she remembers words but struggles to speak them. Still, Alice knows words are for sharing, so she pins them to posters in tucked-away places: railway waiting rooms, fish-and-chip shops, quiet corners. Manny is sixteen, with a scar from shoulder to elbow. Something inside Manny is broken: he was once a child soldier, forced to do terrible, violent things. But in a new land with new people who will care for him, he spends time exploring on foot. And in his pocket, he carries a poem he scooped up. And he knows the words by heart. When Manny and Alice meet, their relationship brings the beginning of love and healing. 650 0 $a Mute persons $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Child soldiers $z Sierra Leone $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage refugees $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wounds and injuries $v Fiction. 650 0 $a High schools $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage girls $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Teenage boys $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Poetry $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Romance fiction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722060017.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=12C7D7E4EAB411EB95DB475F3FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
