The Mute Button

A hilarious new story from the author of BILLIE TEMPLAR'S WAR

How do you make yourself heard in the midst of chaos?

Anthony Button loves his big family, but their noise can drive him crazy.

And with the arrival of a brand-new older brother, it’s worse than ever!

So Ant starts a silent protest to try and get everyone’s attention.

But now he’s pressed the mute button, will he ever find his voice again?

Reviews

BRILLIANT - utterly gripping, well written and one my 2014 favourites so far. For any 9+ readers out there, this is a must-read. The Mute Button is a fantastic book, brilliantly realised and featuring one of the best literary families I've had the pleasure of meeting.
