This book is very well written.  It's a middle grade and about an 11 year old girl but the way the story is written keeps you really in the story. You feel her pain and almost open your eyes the same way she does when she notices that deaf people aren't seen as human in the city of Boston, but almost like animals. You also understand how you are raised is a big factor to how you think, because she talks about Freedmen and the natives of Martha's vineyard as lower than.
