Inhaltsangabe

Thirteen-year-old Amethyst does not get on with her teachers. Her classmates think she is weird. She prefers to be on her own, and she wishes she did not have to go to school. Amethyst reads detective stories, collects fossils, loves archaeology, and is writing her own dictionary. She has trained herself to become an expert in tracking, searching and following clues, and she uses these detective skills to search for someone who was murdered seventy years ago. Amethyst reaches out across time and space and in doing so finds her own voice among the many meanings of silence.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Cynthia Pelman is a speech and language therapist working with children who struggle to communicate due to speech or language delay, learning difficulties or autistic spectrum features. She has worked in this field for over 40 years. Cynthia has also specialised in working with children living in poverty, and uses the cognitive education methods of Reuven Feuerstein to support the learning of these disadvantaged children.Cynthia has more recently specialised in working with children who are able to speak in their home language, but do not speak at school if the language of the school is different from their home language. These children have usually relocated from another country, either by choice or as refugees, with the attendant fears, stresses and anxieties of the loss of familiar faces and spaces, and the loss of their home language. Her most recent book, StoryFrames, is a thoughtful presentation of a brief, low-cost programme to support these silent children.Cynthia's practice as a speech and language therapist is grounded in the work of developmental theorists such as Winnicott and Bowlby, narrative theorists such as Engel and Cattanach, and theories about children's play such as those of Piaget and Vygotsky. Cynthia believes that it is the relationship between the therapist and the child which is a vital and perhaps under-researched aspect of speech and language therapy. Cynthia has an M.Sc degree in Speech and Language Therapy and an M.A degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. She is a registered member of the U.K. Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).
