### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Well written, important topics
  

*by L***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2019*

This book was perfect for my DHH reading class. It’s not often my students get to read books about Deafness. I loved how it touched on two major topics: Deaf culture and Black Lives matter, yet it was presented at a level any preteen/ teen could understand. It is a great fit for the kids in my class.

Alex Gino is a genius and a compassionate genius at that.  This book is a masterpiece.  It's just that simple.Jillian (Jilly P), 12  is an avid fantasy reader and belongs to a pre-teen chat group of others who share her interest in the series she follows.  While online, she gets to know a boy from Oakland California who not only shares her interest but turns out to be a real friend.  When Jillian's sister Emma is born Deaf, she feels a deeper bond toward Derek, the Oakland boy she met online.  Derek, as it turns out is Deaf too and it is from Derek that Jillian learns about bigotry; Deaf culture and the kind of well meant faux pas people make when speaking to someone who is Deaf or a member of a different race.Jillian prides herself on not being a bigot.  She has an aunt who is black and her aunt has a partner, whom Jillian loves as well.  Her Aunt Alicia, who is black has two children, Justin and Jamila, 3 and 5 respectively and Jillian just loves them.  However, she has other family members such as her grandmother and her Uncle Mike, a singular buffoon who display their bigotry.  The grandmother asks her daughter-in-law Alicia to bring ethnic foods such as a sweet potato pie.  She also makes comments about Jamila's hair.  Many people might not catch the subtle bigotry in that, but to me and many others the subtext is quite plain.  The message is that enjoying and preparing such a dish is reflective of all ethnic people and the issue of hair is a very trenchant one.  (Many people display bigotry without even realizing it.  In fairly recent years many reports will describe a black client or student as "light skinned" which is a form of bigotry.  Placing any emphasis or attention to one's skin tone and/or features is just a tacit way of saying "although this person is black, s/he is more acceptable because s/he is less ethnic in appearance."  Calling someone light or dark skinned in reports is a form of bigotry.)  The uncle is Archie Bunker revisited, an unabashed bigot who defends his ignorant comments, even when he sees that he is driving others away.  You just want to shove a drumstick down his throat.Derek and Alicia as well as a kind teacher named Karina are Jillian's best teachers.  Jillian's parents bring their baby Emma to a workshop for families who have a Deaf member where Karina, the teacher/lecturer provides helpful information about early intervention and possible treatments ranging from ASL (American Sign Language) to cochlear implants.  "But," Karina warns, "cochlear implants are not for everybody.  Some people respond better to ASL."  She actively encouraged ASL so that all members of a family could communicate together.  You can't help but love Karina.  By the same token, you just want to slap Ms. Slapp, the first specialist Emma saw as she frowned on ASL and even waving.  To add insult to injury, Ms. Slapp was a pompous Know-Nothing while purporting to be a Know-It-All.Jillian learns that, like her grandmother's gaffe about the sweet potato pie and her younger cousin's hair, she makes similar verbal gaffes to Derek about his Deafness.  She learns some hard lessons away from their fantasy life of following a fantasy series on the internet.  Readers also learn that people are assigned a name by the Deaf community and that is not a decision family members make.  The author(s) wisely include in their addendum that a consultant was brought in from the Deaf community to give Derek his ASL name.  Jillian is a fan of code language as she and her best friend Macy speak in initials all the time, as in T.O.T.K.O. ("takes one to know one.")  She immediately starts learning signing from an ASL website and starts teaching signs to her family.  Derek rightfully points out that Jillian will have to spend time conversing with others fluent in ASL in order to understand the difference in grammar and expression.  On a related note, the name of the fantasy book series setting has a very clever and very a propos sign in ASL!This is an excellent brilliant, ideal for classroom book about Deaf culture; black families and even the tragedy of lives lost due to gun violence and bigotry.  I cannot recommend this book highly enough.  Be sure to read "George" by this same author, another first rate book.  Whereas George is transgender, this book also explores different cultures and bridging the gap with acceptance.
