No More Words by Kerry Lonsdale
4.0
No More Words is one of those books that knows how to keep the reader in suspense.
At the age of sixteen, Olivia Carson's sister, finds herself pregnant and is forced to choose between abortion or adoption.
Lily chooses to run away, but continues to maintain contact with her sister Olivia, through an annual letter and a photo of her son.
Until the letters stop and Olivia finds herself at the front door of the house Josh, Lily's son.
Josh is terrified, has difficulty speaking and cannot read or write. All he has with him is a statement from Lily: "In case you have to disappear..."
Olivia has no idea where her sister is and Josh, at first is no help at all, but thanks to his amazing creative talents, through his drawings, he tells a story.
This story is his and Lily's, so Olivia uses Josu's drawings as a map and retraces their journey.
As I mentioned at the beginning, No More Words was a book that kept me on the edge of my seat. Along with Olivia, I was trying to decipher Josh's drawings as well. I will tell you, it would have been another if the depictions had been present as well. They would have given the story an extra edge.
I can't wait to read the sequel!
