I read this book when I was in 5th grade. I loved it and have not forgotten how good it was. I remember it being a very inspirational story. I will have to read it again all these decades later and see if it was as inspirational as I first thought.

I read this as a fiction story about deafness for my ASL class. There really was not much accuracy to how this book played out.

[Cassie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Written in the seventies this book is already dated. It's verging on historical fiction because of the language and views on deafness and handicaps.
