1802 Martha's Vineyard
What would an accessible society look like for deaf people?
Discussion of stealing of Wampanoag land and the differences in understanding land "ownership" among the Wampanoag and the English settlers. Stratified society with prejudice against Irish, Black freedmen, and Wampanoag.
Grief and guilt over loss of brother through an accident.
Parents disagree.

Spoiler

Horrible kidnapping and subsequent mistreatment. Could be scary for some readers.

11-year-old protagonist but would be interesting up to 8th or 9th grade, I think.
Deaf author.
