![]() ![]() Reread as an audio book - quite excellent, great reader.Īdvanced Readers copy provided by Edelweiss. It's a great read don't miss it.Įven more impressive - this book got a mention from Debbie Reese's blog as one of the few recommended reads from an author that's not Indigenous, for her excellent inclusion and depiction of the Wampanoag. ![]() The notes at the end of the book that talk about many different kinds of sign language are an illumination. The world is a fascinating world, and rooted in history. I love the fantastic historical setting, the excellent story, the thoughtful struggles of the heroine, and her continuous courage - not courage to be a deaf person in a world that includes speaking - courage to take responsibility for her actions, to empathize and consider the plight of others, to hold herself to a standard of kindness, and to endure when placed in a terrifying situation. I love reading a story that centers a deaf character and never even considers lack of hearing to be a disability. ![]()
