EVERYONE KNOWS THAT CHELSEA KNOT CAN'T KEEP A SECRETUntil now. Because the last secret she shared turned her into a social outcast–and nearly got someone killed. Now Chelsea has taken a vow of silence–to learn to keep her mouth shut, and to stop hurting anyone else. And if she thinks keeping secrets is hard, not speaking up when she's ignored, ridiculed, and even attacked is worse.But there's strength in silence, and in the new friends who are, shockingly, coming her way. People she never noticed before. A boy she might even fall for. If only her new friends can forgive what she's done. If only she can forgive herself.

Libby McIssac is known for two things: catching bridal bouquets (her record's an even dozen) and having a way with words. Since the former isn't really something that looks good on a resume, it's helpful to have parlayed the latter into a new career as a political speechwriter.But just as she's making sure her boss looks as if she knows something about…well, anything, Libby's world is turned upside down.Enter a handsome British consultant–a bit on the cagey side, perhaps–who upsets the delicate chain of command around the office and somehow always gets what he wants. Including Libby?When a media leak of a big-time scandal sends everyone into a tailspin, Libby fears she may get caught in the cross fire. Cue the fake alliances, the secrets, the sex, the subterfuge, the hidden friendships: it's all there.Welcome to the world of politics, where perception is everything, nothing is as it seems and the last thing you want is to be left speechless.

Commended for the 2008 Best Books for Kids and Teens, short-listed for the 2008 Snow Willow Award and Ann Connor Brimer Award "No one pays much attention to you if you don’t have much to say, so there was no way I could have predicted what would happen when I stopped talking altogether." When his teacher announces that it’s time for the yearly class speeches, Griffin Maxwell starts to sweat. His past experience with the dreaded speech was humiliating, to say the least, and he just knows there’s no way he can go through that again. So Griffin’s best friend, Bryan, comes up with a solution – one that’s so simple it just has to work. But neither boy can begin to predict the bizarre chain of events that will be set in place when Griffin goes along with the idea. From squaring off with the school bully to reading a teacher’s private letters, Griffin Maxwell will have to face things he never imagined, and all without saying a word!
