Show Me a Sign by Ann Clare LeZotte

4.0

Written by a Deaf author, this young adult book takes place in the Deaf community of Martha's Vineyard in 1805. I was fascinated by that premise because I'd never heard anything about this history! Through the eyes of its young heroine, the book also explores the early settlers' relationships with the island's indigenous people as well as freed slaves who had married into native tribes - all of which was so interesting. The book is written for a very young audience - I would even give it to a 4th or 5th grader.
