Britney and her Ma live in fear of Britneyââ?¬â?¢s Pa. He lashes out physically, traumatizing Ma and Britney. One day while hiding from him, Britney meets a puppy whom she calls Whisper after a word her Ma often repeats to her. Slowly, Britney and Whisper bond until Ma tells Britney to take some food, walk away from their home, and never look back. Frightened, Britney heads out with a small bundle of food and only Whisper for company in ââ?¬Å"Whisper: Book Oneââ?¬Â? by Alison Bellringer.
After an arduous journey, Britney is found by a loving older woman named Ruby, and her son Lucas. Initially terrified, Britney slowly warms up to Ruby and Lucas, accepting them as her family and accepting that she�ll never see her Ma or Pa again. Or so she thinks. Britney�s Ma shows up unexpectedly and Ruby reveals that she is actually Britney�s grandmother. The family is overjoyed at being reunited until Pa comes looking for Ma and Britney. Gradually though, Pa changes his ways and is accepted back into the family.
Author Alison Bellringer has written a compelling and clear story. The tale moves along at quite a clip, allowing readers to see a great progression of the story in a short period. However, more depth into Pa�s transformative period would have been welcome and have better allowed readers to accept he has truly changed and is truly remorseful. At the moment, the transformation is difficult to fully accept, especially as Pa�s reasoning for being violent appears to be pressure from his peers.
Britney and Whisper are easy to root for. Adding an animal companion is always a great choice in books for children. Additionally, it�s great to see Britney have a constant protector when she is so often in physical or emotional peril. This peril makes a tough subject and is sometimes a bit too dark for the intended audience, in my opinion, so be cautioned that those who would be upset by a physically abusive parent storyline may wish to steer clear.
ââ?¬Å"Whisperââ?¬Â? is the first of a trilogy and is a tale of heartache, danger, and ultimately transformation, written for readers aged six to sixteen. While some depth would add credibility to the story, the main characters of Britney and Whisper will get readers on their side quickly.
