"If I don’t say a word, maybe no one will notice I’m missing."Twelve-year old Elara Chen has mastered the art of being invisible. To her classmates, she is just a blur in the hallway; to her teachers, a name on a silent desk. Elara carries a heavy, weathered notebook everywhere a shield against a world that feels too loud and eyes that feel too judgmental. Inside its pages, she isn’t the girl who stutters over her own name; she is a bold explorer of imaginary worlds.But when a local library competition threatens to bring her private words into the light, Elara faces an impossible choice. Should she stay safely hidden in the shadows of her own doubt, or find the courage to let her "quiet echo" finally be heard?
