Dumb: Living Without a Voice by Georgia Webber
4.0
Read for Read Harder 2020 prompt Main Character with a Disability
A mostly powerful graphic novel about the struggles Webber goes through when she loses her voice for unknown reasons for an unknown period of time. I think the art is really cool, showing her increasing despair as the book goes on, and how clueless some of the people around her are. She also deals with things you may not think of: how do you work without a voice? How do you communicate - notebook, whiteboard, text? How do you stay calm when you have no idea when something will end? (relatable)
It's a pretty quick read, I'd recommend it!
