Five Flavors of Dumb
by Antony John
Piper is a seventeen-year-old high school senior, and she's just been challenged
to get her school's super-popular rock band, Dumb, a paying gig. The catch?
Piper is deaf. Can she manage a band with five wildly different musicians,
nurture a budding romance, and discover her own inner rock star, though she
can't hear Dumb's music? (description from Amazon.com)
I really enjoyed this book. It was easy to read, it had heart and it made me laugh. I liked Piper's character a lot. Yes, she had her sarcastic, typical angsty teen moments, but she was also tough and determined to make her own way in the world. I loved her connection to music, even as she acknowledged that she couldn't hear it and would never experience it the same way as everyone else could. I loved the way that this family dealt with their issues and came together as a stronger unit by the end of the story.
For a touching and uplifting,l easy to read book this summer, think about picking up this book!
