In the book, "There Are No Words," Jaxon Mackinze, an autistic 12-year-old girl, is always missunderstood. Even though she may not be able to talk, she's very smart and looks at the world in a diffrent way. She even knows how to read! But to everyone that is a secret, so, one night she sneaks past her grandparent's bed to get a book, and when she starts to read an old newspaper falls out. The newspaper talks of one of the greatest train wrecks in history with 121 people dead and 57 badly injured. When reading the names of the people who died in a train wreck she runs over in specific, Oliver Pack, her grandpa's best friend who died years ago. When Jaxon gets stuck inside a painting and learns she went back in time right before Oliver gets on the train, she realizes it's her destiney is to save Oliver Pack! With some friends help along the way, can Jaxon save Oliver in time or will it be too late?

Opinion: 

"There Are No Words," is very moving, it tells you to never stop believing, because even though Jaxon was autistic she never stopped believing that one day she could talk. And, it happened. "There Are No Words" is one of the best books I ever read. I loved how the author also put pictures of the family to put a background to the story. I very strongly suggest you read this book.
