I read this book with my deaf 4th grade students. It was amazing. They loved this book. They all said it was their favorite book ever. They really don't like to read but this book was about them. It was a little bit difficult reading level wise, proably more appropriate for 5-6th graders. My students everyday begged to read more "apple." It is about a deaf boy in the early 1900s from a deaf family being sent to a school for the deaf for the first time. They learned history and deaf culuture through this book. The most amazing part was the dialogue is written in sign. It reads like ASL. That was wonderful. You really understood the culutural history of these people. I just wish there was more. There could be a whole series and my students would read everyone of them. Read it!
