Have you ever imagined what it’s like to not experience sound? Have you ever wondered how a cochlear implant works? In her new book, True Biz, Sara Novic takes us into Riverdale Valley School for the Deaf - a place where kids are just regular kids, but communicate in different ways. There’s February, the headmistress, who’s uncertain about the future of the school and her marriage. Austin, the golden boy, who’s family has a long, proud history of deafness - and his new, little sister is born hearing. And Charlie - She struggles to understand because her implant doesn’t work and her parents didn’t allow her to learn sign. Novic pulls you into the lives of these kids and the school and opens your eyes to the obstacles they face every day. You will experience a small bit of deaf culture in these pages. Great performance from the narrators , Lisa Flanagan and Kaleo Griffith. Highly recommend this one. #truebiz #saranovic #deafculture #bookofthemonth #contemporaryfiction #bookstagram #bookshelves #booknerd #readinglife #bookwormlife #sodacityreads #bookworm #suspensebook #bookhaul #literaryfiction #homelibrary #bookrecs #characterdrivenbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/CisIB_mrhtB/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
