Deaf Child Crossing

Liked:Easy to read, reminded me a bit of myself growing up, also reminded me of some other childhood moments

As a CODA, I throughly enjoyed seeing the masterful way that Marlee was able to depict the experience of a young deaf person living in a hearing world as well as the journey of the family and friends who learn how to grow and be a part of the Deaf community.

Great book, character development, light hearted, easy to read, perfect for my daughter . . . and the third in the series (Leading Ladies) is even better! Marlee's writing only gets more compelling and the book gets harder and harder to put down. I love how engaging Megan is and with such an indomitable spirit, moreso than her "signing disabled" classmates (no offense intended). I've started my hearing daughter down the path of learning sign language and deaf culture and given her age and reading ability, this light-hearted book series fits a niche I was looking for. Some other books I'm having her read as she gets older: "A Loss for Words," "Finding Zoe," "Inside Deaf Culture" (very rich in content, although a much heavier academic read). Thanks Marlee!

I used this book for a Deaf Literature community service project, and I was really surprised at how well it went over! I donated the book to a local 7th grade classroom (where the teacher, a friend of mine, will be having the class read it together!) and I put together a presentation on Deaf culture as portrayed in the book. The kids were actually really interested in it!

Even though the ending wasn't at all what I expected I enjoyed the book. It gave an inside look on deaf culture and the hearing world. Ann's hire sometimes it can be hard living in both.

My daughter loved this book! We read it together. She has hearing aids and struggles with issues related to her situation. This was a great book to help her help and overcome her friendship troubles.

Students were really interested in her life & the camp dilemma... wish it was on audio

Deaf course textbook.

Love to read this book, brilliant

This was a very sweet story aimed really for pre-teens. I enjoyed reading about Matlins story which was based on a childhood experience. Quality and delivery great as always

Amazing storySo hard to put it down I ended up reading it in a day.
