T/WEEN BOOK DISCUSSION: The book of the month for January is 'Show Me a Sign' by Ann Clare LeZotte.
Mary Lambert has always felt safe and protected on her beloved island of Martha's Vineyard. Her great-great-grandfather was an early English settler and the first deaf islander. Now, over a hundred years later, many people there -- including Mary -- are deaf, and nearly everyone can communicate in sign language. Mary has never felt isolated. She is proud of her lineage.
But recent events have delivered winds of change. Mary's brother died, leaving her family shattered. Tensions over land disputes are mounting between English settlers and the Wampanoag people. And a cunning young scientist has arrived, hoping to discover the origin of the island's prevalent deafness. His maniacal drive to find answers soon renders Mary a 'live specimen' in a cruel experiment.
Join the most chill t/weens and chat with us about this book! Copies are available for the asking. We’ll be meeting on January 5, 2022 at 6:00 PM. There will always be candy!
