This was another one we read over a couple of nights and the boys both really enjoyed it.

I thought it might take them a while to realise what was going on, but they seemed really clued up about the fact that the main character was deaf. Due to me being disabled the boys are very knowledgeable about chronic illness and health problems and don't see it as a big deal. They were not a fan of the bully at all and we had a good chat about why bullies might say and do the things they do.

The book was short and sweet, I do think this story could have been made more of but with the age range being recommended as 6 and above, I think this was probably just the right length and level of detail.

This is a story about a boy with hearing that is gradually getting worse. I think that I was probably expecting a bit more from the book, in that it was fine, there just wasn't much to it; nothing really seemed to happen.
