We are excited to reveal the cover of Annabel Pitcher’s third novel, Silence is Goldfish in the form of a very sweet gif. Lovely isn’t it?
We’ve got a little teaser about the book too…
“My name is Tess Turner - at least, that’s what I’ve always been told.
I have a voice but it isn’t mine. It used to say things so I’d fit in, to please my parents, to please my teachers. It used to tell the universe I was something I wasn’t. It lied.
It never occurred to me that everyone else was lying too. But the words that really hurt weren’t the lies: it was six hundred and seventeen words of truth that turned my world upside down.
Words scare me, the lies and the truth, so I decided to stop using them.
I am Pluto. Silent. Inaccessible. Billions of miles away from everything I thought I knew.”
Silence is Goldfish isn’t published until October 2015 so in the meantime you might like to read or re-read My Sister Lives on the Mantelpiece and Ketchup Clouds. To help you, we have signed copies of each to give away to one lucky reader.
