Having read his first book, I have been wanting to read this for some time. Would it be as good as his first? I don’t think so, but I still enjoyed it. The book is over 600 pages in length, but many of the pages are illustrations, so it is an easy and quick read; I read it in a day. The book is about a little deaf boy finding his place in the world. I’d recommend the book for Year 5 upwards. It has a Lexile rating of 830 so an advanced Year 4 child could read and understand it.
