When she\'s not writing, she howls along to the Hamilton soundtrack with a trio of Chihuahuas named after Peanuts characters.
She\'s from a family of teachers and has a PhD in education from the University of Tennessee.
About author(s): Allison Varnes taught English in special education for eight years and once had to convince administrators that The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is not an endorsement of witchcraft. if she just believes in herself enough to speak up. . .
Words could save Charlotte Andrews and everything she believes in .
And an essay about the end of her best friendship--and her hope that she can still save it.
Letters to the school board to save the school musical.
Anonymous encouraging notes to her classmates.
So she begins to write.
Charlotte can\'t stay silent anymore.
Then, just as she starts to find her voice, the arts program is cut.
Charlotte doesn\'t want to speak onstage, but at least she doesn\'t stutter when she sings.
As if that wasn\'t bad enough, her parents signed her up for musical theater.
But when she witnesses bullying on the school bus and doesn\'t say anything, her silence comes between her and her best friend.
When she doesn\'t speak, people can\'t make fun of her stutter.
Charlotte Andrews is perfectly fine being quiet--in fact, she prefers it.
