3.0

I was unsure about this book at first, because it does follow the perspective of a bully to someone with a hearing disability, and at parts of the book it seemed like it was excusing his behavior because he was also getting bullied. (Plus, the teachers in the book handle the situation so incredibly poorly!) And, while not all of my concerns are addressed, the ending of the book definitely made me want to see what direction the next volumes will take this story!
