Quiet Wyatt (Hardcover)
Description
At the noisiest of times, can the quietest kid save the day? Opposites attract in this sweet and funny friendship story from the author of Nugget & Fang.
Wyatt likes quiet. And being quiet works for Wyatt. He’s the model visitor at museums, the perfect tree in the school play—and he’s the absolute star of his ninja camp.
But when Wyatt is paired with noisy Noreen on a class field trip, his quiet world is shattered. She’s a know-it-all, and just too loud! So loud, in fact, that she might unintentionally cause some alarming problems . . . Can Wyatt overcome his shyness and speak up in time to save the day?
Here is a charming, humorous tale about being true to yourself, accepting others for who they are, and stepping outside of your comfort zone for the sake of a friend.
