In past posts I have rated books 10 but that's because I didn't get the rating system. But this book was absolutely life changing for me. It is about a girl who is deaf named Joey. Her mom doesn't let her learn sign language so she lip-reads. One day she meets an old man who has a chimpanzee who knows sign language, and starts to teach Joey. Some of you might know that I am 100% against animal testing and animal cruelty. This book was really an eye-opener for me and it is part of what influenced me to become a vegetarian. Towards the end I was crying so hard that I had to take a break from it to think it over. Of course I finished it and it is actually the best book I have ever read.
Would you be willing to lend the book to me? I'd really like to read it!

ReplyDeleteWhat was so sad about it? A person, the way someone acted, the way someone treated the chimpanzee? Do you know if it is in our school library has a copy?
