Whisper / Chrissie Keighery

It's scary to think that it's possible to have such a bad case of flu that you can spend days unconscious and wake up permanently deaf. This is what happened to Demi. After struggling to keep up at her old school she decides she will go to a College for the Deaf. I thought the book did a very good job of showing what it must be like to be living in two worlds but not quite fitting in either. By the end of the book it looked as though things were slowly getting sorted out for Demi in her new life.

Who would enjoy this? This is an very good book to read if you want to find out a little bit about being deaf, and it comes with an excellent and engrossing story too!
