Flamingnet Student Book Reviewer MKat_JMajor
In the book, "There Are No Words," Jaxon Mackinze, an
autistic 12-year-old girl, is always missunderstood. Even
though she may not be able to talk, she's very smart and
looks at the world in a diffrent way. She even knows how
to read! But to everyone that is a secret, so, one night
she sneaks past her grandparent's bed to get a book, and
when she starts to read an old newspaper falls out. The
newspaper talks of one of the greatest train wrecks in
history with 121 people dead and 57 badly injured. When
reading the names of the people who died in a train wreck
she runs over in specific, Oliver Pack, her grandpa's best
friend who died years ago. When Jaxon gets stuck inside a
painting and learns she went back in time right before
Oliver gets on the train, she realizes it's her destiney
is to save Oliver Pack! With some friends help along the
way, can Jaxon save Oliver in time or will it be too late?
"There Are No Words," is very moving, it tells you to
never stop believing, because even though Jaxon was
autistic she never stopped believing that one day she
could talk. And, it happened. "There Are No Words" is one
of the best books I ever read. I loved how the author also
put pictures of the family to put a background to the
story. I very strongly suggest you read this
book.
