Description
Deaf Not Deaf by Christian Fusco is a story about an unlikely friendship between two twelve-year-old sixth graders who understand deafness in very different ways. Rian, a cochlear implant recipient, and Luis, a member of the Deaf Community who communicates using American Sign Language, initially hold implicit biases towards each other. Despite their differences, they eventually break down communication barriers and learn to see past their preconceptions. As they navigate the challenges of school life, they form an unlikely alliance with a group of misfit friends to take revenge on a common enemy: Shack, the class bully who has made Rian's first day even more difficult. As Rian, Luis, and their friends hatch a plan to get back at Shack, they must confront the supernatural forces that are stirring in their school. Will their scheme be successful, or will it ultimately come back to haunt them?
