"Jett Jamison can't catch a break. Her home in small town Wisteria is noisy as a zoo on steroids, and her mind buzzes with bits of a traumatic memory she'd rather forget. She's filled a shoebox with one hundred thirty-three to-do lists, her roadmaps to peace, but they only lead to dead ends. Sister Gia, master gardener and cat-whisperer extraordinaire, suggests a book by an anonymous author sure to bring calm quicker than those lists, but it's disappeared from all local libraries, and nobody wants to talk about it. Enraged at the injustice, Jett continues to dig for answers and is drawn into a censorship battle with a high-profile radio host. Her peaceful protest backfires big time, and the town goes berserk. Now, for peace to be within reach, Jett must either face up to her past or remain forever bound by silence much more suffocating than the din in Wisteria" -- Back cover.… (plus d'informations)

This is a potent tale about a girl, who learns to open up and raise her voice in several ways.

Jett craves organization, quiet situations, and calmness, all those things she doesn't have at home thanks to her busy parents and more than lively brothers. Even her reading time at the library is disturbed, leaving her with no where to go. When a nun suggests a novel to her, which will get to the true core of the issues Jett faces, Jett can't even read it thanks to the town's censorship. So, Jett does something out of character. She protests, and this causes more than just a little uproar.

This is a read which hits upon some very tough themes, and it does it with care. Jett suffers under the aftermath of sexual assault by a family member. She hasn't told anyone due to several reasons, and it's eating her up. Not only do others see her as odd, but she hears voices and loud noises scare her (although it's not explained why certain things set her off). This is a difficult but important topic for this age group, especially considering how many girls will connect with this (so sad but true). The author has kept it very age appropriate and brought across Jett's struggles clearly. Still, I wouldn't recommend this for every reader, since it also can serve as possible trigger in certain cases. Adults should take a peek at this one themselves before giving it to young readers in question. But for other readers, it will be a nice push of encouragement, support, and open up understanding.

That said, Jett has other things to deal with, too. Her parents and home life, while appearing balanced, sometimes leave her lacking needed support, and school life is rocky, especially on the social end with leans toward bullying. The beginning pages were a little confusing, but Jett's problems soon settle in, and it's easy to feel for her and root for her after that. The problems with censorship and reactions of the people around her also carry some bite and add another level to the read. It creates quite a few layers for the age group and leaves more than a little food for thought. ( )

Jett Jamison is a precocious sixth grader. She loves lists, schedules and silence. However, the voices in her head don't always cooperate. Her refuge is the library since her twin brothers are always noisy and her parents aren't exactly the schedule type. One day, Jett stumbles across Sister Gia, a nun working in the gardens. Sister Gia offers Jett a refuge from the noise and a listening ear. Sister Gia wonders if Jett might benefit from a book she knows, but soon after Jett discovers the book at her local library, it disappears. Jett then learns that the other copies of the book have disappeared as well. Jett believes that the book will help all of her problems and decides to fight the censor while fighting for herself.

Jett Jamison & The Secret Storm is a powerful middle grade, coming of age story. Told through an authentic middle school voice, Jett comes alive with relatable struggles and issues that many middle schoolers face. Jett has very strong emotions and is dealing with past trauma while trying to stand up for what is right and learning about who her true friends are. Jett's journey of coming to terms with her trauma through a book really resonated with me. I enjoyed seeing Jett growing as she learned that she would have to be loud and use her voice in order to advocate against the book censorship as well as how the book opened an avenue for Jett finally seeking help. Jett Jamison & The Secret Storm offers a heartfelt and thoughtful look into trauma and recovery.

This book was received for free in return for an honest review. ( )
