This gave me so many ideas for the next Aarya Dalton book.

I really enjoyed this book, I wish it had been available before I started working for a deaf and hard of hearing school this year. Great information on the mechanics of hearing loss, deaf culture, assistive technology, family environments and support - and, of course, the classroom. Lots of good information for anyone who works with P-12 deaf and hard of hearing children.
