About Speechless. . .
Middle school was supposed to be a fresh start for Mira, who struggles to speak in class even though she can speak at home without a problem. Her former best friend, Chloe, has become her worst enemy, and Mira's only solace is making videos for her secret stop-motion animation channel. But when Chloe's mom has to travel for a family emergency, Mira is horrified to learn that her family has volunteered to let Chloe stay with them. When it feels like everything is going wrong, will Mira ever find her voice?
Aron Nels Steinke is the creator of the bestselling Mr. Wolf's Class series, the Eisner Award-winning illustrator and coauthor, with Ariel Cohn, of The Zoo Box, and is a former classroom teacher. When he's not writing, drawing, or visiting schools, Aron can be found taking long walks with his family and his dog, Ginger, in his hometown of Portland, Oregon. His favorite thing is to go swimming in the Sandy River when it's just barely warm enough to do so. Visit him online at mrwolfsclass.com.
