CBCA Notables 2023. Hero and her friends, Jaz and Aria live a relatively quiet life at school – literally for Aria – he is mute, doesn’t say a word. Jaz and Hero run a protective circle around him, trying to keep them all out of the way of Doofus (school thug Rufus), but are not always successful. When Hero’s dad tells her that Aria has won a poetry competition, Hero and Jaz are even more curious about their silent friend, and do their best to help him find his voice. Highly Recommended.
