Such a brilliant thing to shine a light on. I can't wait to introduce this book to my children
Gordon Smart, BBC Radio 5 Live
<i>I Am Lenny Brown</i> is an absolute cracker of a book, and its hero isn’t one you will forget quickly. Huge of heart, it reminded me of writers like Morris Gleitzman and Jacqueline Wilson, and there is no greater praise I can offer than that.
Phil Earle, author of When the Sky Falls
There's more than one way to find your voice . . .
Lenny Brown is eight years old and can't talk. Except to his mum and his dog, Rocky.
When Lenny has to move house and start at a new school, it feels like his whole life is changing, and not for the better. Will he be able to make friends and find a way to fit in?
But when Lenny finds a different way to express himself, everyone is in for a big surprise as they find out just how amazing he can be . . .
