Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Amie Hayes has a secret gift: she can borrow another person's voice-but only when that person silently consents, and never for more than sixty minutes.At St. Jude Academy, where confidence commands respect and silence is treated as weakness, Amie has learned to use her strange ability to help those who cannot make themselves heard. Borrowing the voice of a talented musician for an oral defense and the commanding baritone of a powerful student leader, she becomes the words other people are too frightened to speak.But when an impossible voice begins echoing from beneath the school's auditorium, Amie discovers a buried history of cruelty, intimidation, and carefully protected secrets. Seven years earlier, a student named Micah Turner was forced out of the academy after a scandal that powerful people worked hard to erase. His voice has never truly disappeared-and neither has the truth.As Amie investigates the school's sealed records, she uncovers a web of betrayal involving the Kingsley family and the administrators determined to protect their reputation. With her own future and her family's security at risk, she must decide whether to keep borrowing other people's voices or finally trust her own.Because some truths cannot be spoken through someone else's mouth. And sometimes, the bravest thing a person can do is refuse to remain silent.Amie and the Borrowed Words is a supernatural young adult fantasy about identity, courage, institutional injustice, and the power of speaking the truth in your own voice.
