When twins Chris and Rosie set off for their first day at Jackson Juniors, they hatch a brilliant plan: Chris will pretend that he can't speak and Rosie that she can't hear. The plan doesn't seem quite so brilliant, though, when Rosie finds herself separated from Chris and in a special unit for pupils who are hard of hearing. But it's there that she makes her first new friend, Harrie, a girl with a surprising skill - she's a star footballer.
