Thirteen-year-old Joey Willis is used to being left out of conversations. Though she's been deaf since the age of six, Joey's mother has never allowed her to learn sign language. She strains to read the lips of those around her, but often fails.
Everything changes when Joey meets Dr. Charles Mansell and his baby chimpanzee, Sukari. Her new friends use sign language to communicate, and Joey secretly begins to learn to sign.

This story is very touching and interesting.Sukari is a chimpanzee who can sign,and adapted to being a human when raised by a human man.Joey is a girl with hearing loss caused by circumstances that would break anyones heart and her mother never allowed her to learn sign language just because her mother insisted she should learn to live in the hearing world despite having hearing loss.charlie helped her so much and brought joy into her life.This book was so incredibly good! The main issues in the book were deafness and animal rights. A teenage girl who has been deaf since she was 7 is still trying to come into her own when she knows she didn't really fit. Her hearing loss has created isolation that is only made worse by an extremely controlling and manipulating mother. Thankfully she meets a neighbor who happens to be a CODA (child of deaf adults) and his chimpanzee. Joey quickly finds comfort and love in these two friends and that
Why I picked it up: I saw it listed as a read-alike on The Hub but had never heard of it, and I am generally drawn to stories with deaf characters.When the story starts, Joey is thirteen. She meets an older neighbor, Charlie, who knows sign language because his parents were both deaf. Charlie has a chimpanzee at his home who he is teaching sign language to.

As the truth is revealed to the reader, the story takes several twists.The mother's

I began and finished this book in one day. It is one of the only books to ever move me to tears, right up there with Black Beauty and the Sixth Harry Potter Book. I strongly recomend this book for anyone with a big heart. Im not going to spoil the book by trying to explain the plot; its not that easy.

I really liked this book. There was so much complex conflicts. There is problem of deaf teenager and her friends (bullying), her and her mom about signin with hands instead of reading lips, and about pesticides testing on animals. I think animals testing shouldn't happen. Maybe as technology develops, people can invent a machine that is really similar with person. But that will cost bunch of money. This book was really sad.. I think the fact that only character that changed through story was
