Look insideLizzie Zipmouth
Lizzie refuses to speak. It’s as if she has a zip across her mouth. She doesn’t want to talk to anyone… and most definitely not her new stepbrothers and stepdad. Nothing can coax her into speaking to them: not football, not pizza, not even a new bedroom. But one day, a member of her new family turns out to be even more stubborn than Lizzie is. Is the zip across her mouth about to be pulled open at last?
Winner of the Nestlé Smarties Gold Award and the Red House Children’s Book Award.

this is my favourite book because it is funny and dramatic but even though the book is small it is a very good book and sometimes big things come in small packages!

I think this book is truly amazing because it tells people that even if you’re scared, worried and don’t like someone you can still speak and not keep your mouth zipped at all times. when I heard the song little me by little mix I realized the chorus relates to this book: I’d tell her to speak up, tell her to shout out, Talk a bit louder, be a bit prouder, Tell her she’s beautiful, wonderful, Everything she doesn’t see,
You gotta speak up, you gotta shout out, And know that right here, right now, You can be beautiful, wonderful, Anything you wanna be, little me. I think its tell lizzie to speak up and know she can talk no matter how she feels. I think that songs kind of telling everyone a message. I'm not making any of this up so, READ IT!8 April 2014
