No More Words by Kerry Lonsdale

-

I was lucky to receive an advanced copy of this amazing book in exchange for my honest opinion. I have been a fan of Kerry Lonsdale for many years so I was thrilled to read this book before it is published on 6July2021. This is the first in a three part series about a family with troubles in their past that left them a broken family. Even today they struggle with secrets.

The siblings, Olivia, Lily, and Lucas were a trio growing up. Olivia always protected Lily from their father, who never treated her well. Then Lilly runs away from home after telling her parents she is pregnant and is still missing. Then Josh, her son, appears on Olivia’s doorstep. Olivia immediately wants to find Lily. Josh knows what happened but has trouble talking. The pair set off on a journey to find Lily that will uncover more family secrets.


The title could not be more perfect for this book. It represents Josh and his trouble speaking and how he has to come up with different ways to communicate. It also represents the feeling you have when you uncover secrets you can’t believe. You have no words.

I enjoyed reading this book and can tell it will be a great series. A lot of characters were introduced in this book that I can see playing a bigger part in future books. The ending is wonderful but leaves many open questions. This makes sense because there are two more books to enjoy! The author included a sneak peak into the second book and it makes me so excited for Summer 2022, when it is released. In the meantime I can enjoy this book!

Welcome to my stop on The Children’s Book Review in partnership with Catherine Rose for her book, Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection. About the Book: Coloring the Rainbow: The Power of Connection tells a story of the magic created when the unique talents of a diverse group of children are shared in a colorful adventure. The adventure begins when we see through a boy’s window to find a young trombonist pausing his practice to wonder if other musical voices exist. When an alluring treble note wafts through his window, he begins an excited quest to find the answer. Playing his horn through his neighborhood, the boy draws other curious children to play their unique instruments along with him. Together, they played: “Lend your voice, play your part! Something grand is beginning― join us for the start!” The procession of music makers is touched with magic when their combined voices, raised in harmony, orchestrate a colorful miracle. The ease of poetry and vibrant il

Thank you to Rachel’s Random Resources for putting together this virtual book tour! About the Book: For Iris , each visit to her mother in St Mabon’s Cove, Cornwall has been the same – a serene escape from the city. But today, as she breathes in the salt air on the doorstep of her beloved childhood home, a heavy weight of anticipation settles over her. Iris knows she’s adopted, but any questions about where she came from have always been shut down by her parents, who can’t bear to revisit the past. Now, Iris can’t stop thinking about what she’s read on the official paperwork: BABY GIRL, FRANCE, 1939 – the year war was declared with Nazi Germany. When Iris confronts her mother, she hits the same wall of pain and resistance as whenever she mentions the war. That is, until her mother tearfully hands her an old tin of letters, tucked neatly beside a delicate piece of ivory wool. Retreating to the loft, Iris steels herself to at last learn the truth, however painful it might be. Bu

The book opens with a cast or character (in order of appearance) that is super handy to reference back to (plus for physical books!) when you are learning the characte
