Very cute story of a boy with a big heart, trying to find the peace in his chaotic family life. It is a funny story with great family characters all culminating in a presentation that Anthony has to give, but how will he do it on a speaking strike?!

A well written story for children aged 9+. Our hero is 10 year old Anthony Button who lives in a big, noisy family and decides to go on a talking strike. This book looks at the loneliness one can feel in a large family, especially when a new sibling arrives on the scene. Far from being a depressing read this is a warm, funny and uplifting story.
