Silent to the Bone by E.L. Konigsburg


This book is about a boy named Branwell. After something happens on Columbus Day Branwell cannot speak. On Columbus Day Branwell's baby half sister Nikki, went into a coma. Branwell is taken to Clarion County Behavioral Center where he sits for 27 days of silence. Connor, Branwell's best friend is the only one who can get Branwell to talk. With the help of his sister Margaret, Connor is able to find out why Branwell's not talking. Branwell and Connor find a way to communicate. Through this communication, Connor speaks to people who Branwell suggests to help Branwell to talk. Can Connor get the true story before Branwell is convicted of manslaughter? If Branwell says he didn't hurt Nikki who really did? Was it Vivian, Branwell's babysitter and crush? Or Morris who worked at JJ's Pizzeria? Could it really be Branwell? You'll have to read this exciting mystery that may silence you to the bone. This book is good for 7th or 8th graders. It may be good for 6th graders who can handle such a tough subject. I recommend this book to any 7th or 8th grader or adults who like a sad but mysterious book.


Well I have to go read another book,

Enjoy!!!!!!
