Speak No Evil

Every student in the Gifted class harbours a secret, but none is as enigmatic as Carter Street. No one knows his real name, or why he's even there – he never speaks, offering only a blank stare. He never speaks, but the other students suspect that, like them, something is going on behind Carter's blank stare. What they don't realise is that Carter's mystery is far more dangerous than anything they could imagine... Perfect for young readers who enjoy a mix of school drama and paranormal adventure, this light-hearted action-adventure series was adapted into a hit CBBC television drama in 2025. Gifted Meadowbrook Middle School is an ordinary school with ordinary students-except for the Nine. These students look like the others, but they're not. You could call it a skill, a talent or a disadvantage, but each of these students is unique—they're gifted.
