'My name is Finlay McIntosh. I can see OK, can hear perfectly fine and I can write really, really well. But the thing is, I can't speak. I'm a st-st-st-stutterer. Hilarious, isn't it? It's like the word is there in my mouth, fully formed and then, just as it's ready to leave my lips... POP! It jumps and ricochets and bounces around my gob. Except it isn't funny at all, because there's not a thing I can do about it.' Finlay's mother vanished two years ago. And ever since then his stutter has become almost unbearable. Bullied at school and ignored by his father, the only way to get out the words which are bouncing around in his head is by writing long letters to his ma which he knows she will never read, and by playing Scrabble online. But when Finlay is befriended by an online Scrabble player called Alex, everything changes. Could it be his mother secretly trying to contact him? Or is there something more sinister going on? A Seven Letter Word is an evocative and heartfelt story from the multi-award-winning author of Smart, Kim Slater.
How can a liar uncover the truth? A sharp, warm and thought-provoking mystery from Kim Slater, award-winning author of Smart.

Kieran Woods sieht die Welt mit anderen Augen. Manches versteht er nicht, zum Beispiel warum sich die Polizei nicht um einen vermeintlichen Mord an dem Obdachlosen Colin Kirk kümmert, warum seine heißgeliebte Grandma nicht mehr zu ihm nach Hause kommt oder warum seine Mutter bei seinem Stiefvater Tony bleibt, auch wenn der sie immer wieder schlägt … Und doch versteht er so viel mehr: nämlich dass Colin leben wollte, auch wenn er „nur“ ein Obdachloser war. Und dass man etwas dafür tun muss, seine Grandma wiederzusehen, auch wenn es dafür sehr ungewöhnlicher Wege bedarf. Und für die Sache mit Tony wird ihm sicher auch noch etwas einfallen.
