This was an informative story for me. It was interesting to learn about how the Natives of Martha's Vineyard were treated, along with different people's views on deafness at that time. I loved learning about the rich deaf culture in Martha's Vineyard. I also liked how at the beginning Mary was unsure how she felt about the way Natives and Africans were treated but the things that happened to her changed her way of thinking. She understood that she couldn't change the way her ancestors had treated people of color, but she could control the way she treated them. That's an important lesson for us white people today. Overall, this book is a great middle grade novel that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
