Deer Run Home

"Effie is Deaf, and no one in her family speaks sign language, her language. This moving story of survival and found family, inspired by a true court case and told in verse, is perfect for fans of Wonder and Out of My Mind. * 'Quietly extraordinary.' -Kirkus Reviews, starred review * 'Elegantly weaves a heartbreaking story with hope.' -School Library Journal, starred review 'Through Effie, young readers both deaf and hearing will encounter a heartfelt homecoming story, and reassurance that they are not alone.'-The New York Times Effie and her older sister, Deja, have recently moved into their father's trailer after an incident at their mom's house. Daddy communicates with Effie by pointing, stomping on the floor, and making thoughtless jokes. Even if they did understand each other, could she tell the terrible secret she carries when telling feels impossible-and dangerous? But what if telling is the only way to be seen? This tender, spare, emotionally charged story about the impact of abuse and the power of love explores what it feels like to be an outsider in your own family and to awaken-through friendship, writing, and kinship with the natural world-to a new understanding and appreciation of yourself."

Ann Clare LeZotte (Author), Sarah Tubert (Narrator)

El Deafo

"Winner of the American Library Association's 2024 Odyssey Award for Excellence in Audiobook Production!  The beloved #1 New York Times bestselling and Newbery Honor winning graphic novel, adapted for audio with a full cast and sound effects. El Deafo is now streaming on Apple TV+. The Guardian called the animated series: 'Sweet, funny, poignant and definitely not just for kids.' Starting at a new school is scary, especially with a giant hearing aid strapped to your chest! At her old school, everyone in Cece's class was deaf. Here, she's different. She's sure the kids are staring at the Phonic Ear, the powerful aid that will help her hear her teacher. Too bad it also seems certain to repel potential friends. Then Cece makes a startling discovery. With the Phonic Ear she can hear her teacher not just in the classroom but anywhere her teacher is in the school-in the hallway . . . in the teacher's lounge . . . in the bathroom! This is power. Maybe even superpower! Cece is on her way to becoming El Deafo, Listener for All. But the funny thing about being a superhero is that it's just another way of feeling different . . . and lonely. Can Cece channel her powers into finding the thing she wants most, a true friend?"

Cece Bell (Author), Avi Roque, Bailey Carr, Fred Berman, Jennifer Aquino, Lexi Finigan, Matt Godfrey, Nicky Endres, Sanya Simmons, Sarah Tubert (Narrator)
