The Silent Storm

Summary: The Silent Storm
Review: Garland speaks with an authentic voice, enveloping readers in the warm fragrant air of rural Vietnam and the fumes and noisy crowds of what Loi still calls Saigon . . . This is a compelling coming of age novel in which Loi has lived by the rules that preclude her happiness in a land she loves.

Summary: Everyone has their own storm in their lives...
Review: Sherry Garland, author of "The Silent Storm" goes beyound the boundaries of human nature we usually experience. Alyssa, who has just turned thirteen, cannot speak because of an accident that ocurred some three years ago. The more she tries to dig up her past, the more suspense is piled on. The characters that interact with Alyssa are even more interesting. You can't just read one page of this book. You have to keep turning the pages until you've savored every word.

Review: The Silent Storm is the Best book that I have ever read in my entire life! It's About a girl who is 13 years old and her parents died in a hurricane, on a ship. She has been mute ever since then (for 3 years) It is a sad book but very exciting- when you read it you will find it hard to put down.

Summary: Applause
Review: This is an excellent novel. I don't usually real teenage type novels anymore but from a surface judgement I can see how wonderfully Sherry Garland writes. The text reads like flowing water, so appropriate for the hurricane and sea themes she explores. It's also a rather unique story about a 13 year old girl who was struck mute after the fateful day her father was lost at sea. I would highly recommend this novel.
