A magical fable, a parable for our times—Jason Reynolds's sparkling debut adult novel is a future classic. Jason’s adult novel The Mouthless God and Jesus Number Two, is a fable steeped in magical realism, about a boy with no voice. How can you survive, not being able to tell your story? This is the story of Mm, a boy with no mouth and no voice—his mother paints on his smile each morning—but with a tale just bursting to escape and enrich readers. Taking inspiration from the thousands of children he has met over the years and from his personal experience of finding his own voice, Jason has written a beautiful and magical tale of the fight for a voice that, in Jason’s own words, ‘speaks to a new present and shifts the landscape for generations to come’.
