Quiet Storm by Kimberly Whittam is a captivating story about shyness and strength, both reassuring and empowering. As Sophie Anderson, author of The House with Chicken Legs, puts it, "No matter how quiet it is, you've got a voice, Storm. You should use it to speak up for yourself."

Storm has never liked to stand out from the crowd, but ever since she started Year 7, her life has been full of people telling her she needs to speak up, make friends, and be more like her popular big brother.

Then Storm breaks a school record and finds herself the new star of the athletics team. But as she's thrust into the spotlight, her home life and friendships start spiralling out of control. It's time for Quiet Storm to show that she has something to say.

This tender, empowering novel is about family, friendship, and finding confidence in who you are.
