Talli's Secret
BY JULIE NOBLE
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It keeps you turning
the pages from start to finish. I was lost in Talli's world and
didn't want to come back."
G.P. Taylor, author of the New York Times bestsellers Shadowmancer
and Wormwood
Life is tough at home, but school is even worse. If the class bully
isn't giving Cassie a hard time then it's the teacher, because Cassie
has always got her head in the clouds.
So is she dreaming again when it is time for the class trip to
Haworth parsonage, home of the Brontes? Who is the strange girl who
calls herself Talli, and why is she so interested in Cassie?

Talli's Secret has been described as perceptive, moving and powerful.
The book addresses challenging issues, for instance, how people cope,
(or don't cope), with bereavement. It also examines how we as a
society treat people with disabilities, whether visible or invisible.
Visible ones are those, which are noticeable, for example having a
problem which makes it necessary to use a wheel chair. Invisible ones
are those conditions such as Dyslexia: difficulties an otherwise
intelligent child may have with reading and spelling, and Dyspraxia:
problems with co-ordination and organisation skills, which cannot be
detected by sight alone, and can therefore remain undiagnosed,
causing problems for children, parents and teachers alike.
Julie Noble studied psychology and literature at Lancaster
University. Intrigued by the Brontes, she has made extensive studies
before writing this book. She is married to Mark and they have three
children, one of whom struggles everyday with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia.
