Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly
It will be released on March 14, 2017, by Greenwillow Books.
I am excited about this book! A middle-grade book has a deaf character?! I can’t wait to see if this book have a good rep so I can recommend this book to my friends who have deaf child(ren) and it would be a good book for me to give to my own children one day.
The cover is fun to look at. It tells the story. I love it.
Synopsis
In one day, four lives weave together in unexpected ways. Virgil Salinas is shy and kind-hearted and feels out of place in his loud and boisterous family. Valencia Somerset, who is deaf, is smart, brave, and secretly lonely, and loves everything about nature. Kaori Tanaka is a self-proclaimed psychic, whose little sister Gen is always following her around. And Chet Bullens wishes the weird kids would just act normal so that he can concentrate on basketball. They aren’t friends — at least not until Chet pulls a prank that traps Virgil and his pet guinea pig at the bottom of a well. This disaster leads Kaori, Gen, and Valencia on an epic quest to find the missing Virgil. Through luck, smarts, bravery, and a little help from the universe, a rescue is performed, a bully is put in his place, and friendship blooms.
