Written to help youngsters understand deafness, this story of a 10 year old, deaf girl who becomes BFF's with the new girl next door and the ups and downs of their friendship as they navigate their differences. Too contrived to be emotionally involving.
Deaf Child Crossing is a book about a girl who is deaf that moves to a new town and becomes best friends with another girl. This book deals with the struggles of both sides of being someone who is deaf and trying to explain that she doesn't always need help from her friend and being the person who can hear learning how to be a good friend. This wasn't the best book I've read but I would recommend it to others. It was boring at times but I think younger people might enjoy it especially if you are dealing with being deaf or knowing someone who is deaf.
A good read for kids to get some insight about deafness.
This is the story of two girls who become friends after Cindy moves into her new neighborhood. Cindy can hear and Megan is deaf. When they go away for the summer to different camps their friendship is tested.
