Book of the Week

Whisper by Chrissie Perry explores what happens when circumstances over which you have no control impact your life and sense of self.  Demi becomes profoundly deaf after an illness, and her coming of age story is complicated by the fact that she must straddle both the hearing and the deaf world.  Being a teenager is hard enough.  But being a deaf teenager makes it even more complex.

Students 14+ years will enjoy this story about finding your identity. Teachers’ Notes are available HERE.
