Is Anybody Listening?
Larry O'Loughlin

When Laura first hears voices, she thinks she’s going mad. The truth is almost as frightening.

Two children half a world away – Sanjid, an Indian carpet slave, and Rosa, a Brazilian slum teenager – are calling to her. Both are helpless. Both are in danger. Both desperately need Laura’s help.

They’re ruining Laura’s life. Her so-called best friends think she’s weird; her teacher thinks she’s on drugs. Listening to the voices means putting her life in danger. Refusing to listen means leaving Sanjid and Rosa to die.

The powerful and disturbing story of one girl who hears a cry for help – and refuses to turn away.
