A Seven Letter Word

by Kim Slater

ISBN: 9781509801138

Finlay's mother vanished two years ago. And ever since then his stutter has become almost unbearable. Bullied at school and ignored by his father, the only way to get out the words which are bouncing around in his head is by writing long letters to his ma which he knows she will never read, and by playing Scrabble online. But when Finlay is befriended by an online Scrabble player called Mason, everything changes. Could it be his mother secretly trying to contact him? Or is there something more sinister going on?

I Absolutely loved this book. Probably because I like books with happy endings. And I felt happy for Finlay because his stutter's gone and he has found his mother,

Charlotte - Arnold Hill Academy - 2018

This book was really good because there was suspense and cliff hangers. Also there was mystery because when Finlay's house was robbed I thought Oliver did it as he suddenly went to hospital.The ending was amazing!!!!!

Amariah - Arnold Hill Academy - 2018

I really like this book because this book is really inspirational and makes you want to stand up for the people that have stutters and the seven letter word makes you want to sort out the bullied people with stutters.

Holly - Fernwood School - 2018

I loved this book and finished it in 5 days flat. I couldn't put it down when my parents came up to say say goodnight. I enjoy watching out for another book by Kim Slater.

Xanthe - Rushcliffe Spencer Academy - 2018

This is an amazing story about finding your voice and family. I loved the fact it was set in Nottingham and it draws attention to the discrimination faced by minorities.

Holly - Rushcliffe Spencer Academy - 2018

A great book! I loved it and couldn't put it down. I like how it is full of suspense, but it ends up having a lovely ending .

Scarlett - Ellis Guilford School - 2018

Seven letter word was an interesting book with brilliant characters to follow. The story line was a little sad because the character went through a few tough times in the book and many people would relate to this.
