Description

Scott Schroeder dreams of a day when he and his father can have a home of their own. Following an accident that took his mother's life eight years before, doctors discovered Scott was suddenly deaf. Blessed with being an accomplished gymnast and skilled at signing and reading lips, Scott's biggest challenge is convincing others he is able to do all the same things as those in the hearing world. Picking up on conversations he observes along the way, Scott figures out a big family secret concerning his father and uncle and makes his mind up to play a part in their reconciliation.

Advance Praise

"Told from Scott's point-of-view, this book grabs the reader right away. The beginning scene shows some of the difficulties Scott faces being deaf. Scott uses sign language and lip-reading, and I liked the way descriptions of both were worked into the text. This adds a unique element to the story. This book has a lot going on and is hard to put down." --official review of OnlineBookClub.org.
