Jodie Jones is obsessed with words. Yet she can’t find the ones to say what happened that day five years ago, with her mum, on the bridge.

Struggling in school and at home, she takes comfort in her safe places: her books. Her best friend. And her brother’s friend, Moses – who makes her feel something new.

But when hidden family truths come to light and life starts to implode, can Jodie Jones find the words she needs to save herself?

A compelling, witty, moving love letter to the magic of words.
