Still Heard

When sixteen-year-old Reed moves cross-country after a family tragedy, silence isn't just his choice, it's his reality. Selectively mute and newly placed with his uncle's family in a town where everyone knows everyone, Reed's only plan is to get through the school year unnoticed. But between a sparkly eight-year-old cousin who's obsessed with glitter and hugs, two too-curious older cousins who don't believe in personal space, and an entire football team he somehow ends up helping after school, "unnoticed" quickly becomes a distant dream.

Then there's Mason's warning: don't get involved in school drama, and definitely *don't* look too long at Zayden Graves. The tall, smirking enigma in the back row of AP Bio. Reed breaks that rule day one.

Navigating high school, family dinners, and secret glances from the boy who might see more than he lets on, Reed has to learn that even if your voice is quiet, or written out on an iPad...you still deserve to be heard.
