About the book...
Then the day comes when Rahley has to make the biggest decision of his life... to speak up or to keep his code of silence. He works as a safety monitor at Stick Bridge beside Monument Rock and sometimes bug families and school bugs come on trips to ogle the magnificent Stick Bridge that Rahley loves so dearly. On that particular day when he arrives at work his worse fears came to fruition. A disaster has occurred during the night to his beloved bridge, one so severe that if Rahley doesn't speak up the oncoming group of visitors may be in great danger and their very lives may be in peril. Oh my! What is a silent slug to do?
Will Rahley choose to shout out a warning to the oncoming bus and put the safety of others above his own awkwardness and decision to never utter a word?
This heartwarming tale shows how an insignificant little slug faces his fears head on in order to save his friends, discovers he is perfect just as he was created, and ultimately how he becomes the superhero of his town. I loved the message of the book and I highly recommend it. Rahley you're the man!

About the book...
This is the author's third book. Rahley is an adorable, very shy, happy slug who has never used his voice. You see slugs are afraid of their own voices so Rahley resigned himself to complete silence. He just nods and waves at the many local bugs who greet him as he passes through his little town on his way to work.
He would like to speak but he is afraid that his voice will sound terrible and that everyone will laugh at him, so he remains totally quiet and will not take the risk of being made fun of.
"What if I sound like a screeching dung beetle and everyone laughs at me?" he thought.
"Even worse, what if I'm loud like a barking spider and scare everyone? " No, it's better and safer to be a silent slug, " he thought, and Rahley never made a sound."
