Waiting On Wednesday - Silence Is Goldfish by Annabel Pitcher

Picture Picture Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Jill over at Breaking The Spine and it's a chance for us all to highlight upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

This week, my Waiting On Wednesday pick is Silence Is Goldfish by Annabel Pitcher.  Here's the blurb:

My name is Tess Turner - at least, that's what I've always been told.

I have a voice but it isn't mine. It used to say things so I'd fit in, to please my parents, to please my teachers. It used to tell the universe I was something I wasn't. It lied.

It never occurred to me that everyone else was lying too. But the words that really hurt weren't the lies: it was six hundred and seventeen words of truth that turned my world upside down.

Words scare me, the lies and the truth, so I decided to stop using them.

I am Pluto. Silent. Inaccessible. Billions of miles away from everything I thought I knew.

Tessie-T has never really felt she fitted in and after what she read that night on her father's blog she knows for certain that she never will. How she deals with her discovery makes an entirely riveting, heart-breaking story told through Tess's eyes as she tries to find her place in the world.

Now, I've gotta say, that blurb isn't telling me much.  Is it contemporary?  Sci-Fi?  Fantasy?  We just don't know.  What we do know, however, is that it's by Annabel Pitcher.  I read one of her other books, Ketchup Clouds, earlier this year and it was really rather superb, so I'm definitely going to take a punt on this one as well.

What about you?  What's your Waiting On Wednesday pick?
