Read My Lips
120809
Jana Novotny Hunter

Read My Lips is about a deaf girl, Debbie or Cat which is her sign name, who has been deaf since she was five, who then gave up on speaking and decided to go with signing, but in Year 12 decides that she is scared that she will be alone in the big world where not many people can sign, and she wants to learn to speak but her best friend doesnt want her too. The problem is that deaf city is divided in two, the speakers and the signer. And by learning to speak and falling for a speaker she causes the biggest up-roar, deaf city had ever seen.
Read My Lips has a mixed genre of realistic, romance and teen issues. These genres have been combined into a great novel, which would be suitable for both girls and boys (though I think girls would be more interested in the plot.) around the age of 13 to 17. It is an enjoyable book to read, when youre in a lazy mood as it does a lot of the thinking for you. It uses wording that helps you form the book in your mind like a movie.
