Summary: This is a fantastic book
Review: Generally an accurate depiction of a deaf girl's childhood in a hearing family and environment. If I were younger, I'd enjoy this book a bit better. There are not many books with the main character being Deaf. This book scores solely on the factor that the main character is Deaf. Great for these little girls who are Deaf out there. But other than that, this book is mediocre at best. The writing is bland, the storyline tired, the characters undeveloped, and the countless typos annoying. A disappointing book overall.

Summary: The best
Review: I know I'm only tweleve and older people dont really listen to us, but hear me out for a second. This book is a heart touching storie that talks about a girl named Megan who is deaf. I read this in my sign language class. Just the first chapter caught my attention. Its shows that a girl, 10 years old, who's deaf, can still be who she wants to be. A leader. Not only of her street but also being proud of being deaf. That is what I like to read. Someone who has a diablility can still feel proud of who she is. Amazing! Now go a buy this book. It will truely turn your life around and have you look at life in a different light.

Review: My wife and I are always on the search for books that we can read with our kids but most of the stuff out there just doesn't cut it. As big fans of The West Wing and Marlee Matlin we were excited to read the book but then we didn't know what to expect as the review from Publishers Weekly was questionable. But it's all wrong! We found the book charming, funny and very good. And we didn't notice any grammatical errors! Our two children 8 (girl) and 6 (boy) couldn't wait to read each new chapter. Our oldest even read it to the youngest. Now both of them want to learn sign language. We loved Ms. Matlin's insight and we're hoping for a sequel! Two thumbs up!

Review: This is a great book for any child, but if you have a deaf child it's a must. It's well written and, let's be frank, there isn't a lot of fiction with deaf characters that kids can relate too. If your child is a little older (teen or adult), Jack Haldeman's "The Fall Of Winter" is a sci-fi story with several deaf characters (and their deafness is definetely *not* a handicap!).
