Whisper

Hi! I hope you enjoy this book review on Whisper. 

Author-Chrissie Perry

Genre- YA (Young Adult Fiction), Everyday life

Theme- Be unique. l will explain why later in the post

Target Audience- 12+ I will explain why later in the post

                                

I chose 'be unique' as a major theme of this book because if you were the same as everyone else then, everything you thought was interesting within yourself wouldn't be. Everything would become boring and there would be nothing special about you or anyone else.

I chose 12+ because this is a YA book, otherwise you can read it at your own risk. It has some confusing themes. This is a good book to read multiple times for the enjoyment as well as to grasp the meaning of the book better.

This book is about Demi who is fourteen. She is becoming incredibly ill and could die. Luckily, she survived but her illness made her deaf. Demi moves to a school which specializes in teaching the deaf. By moving schools, Demi gets away from Jules (her interpreter). This book is about Demi facing rascim, discrimination, anxiety, friendship and family problems as well as adjusting to fit in the deaf community.

I give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it's really well written. As the reader, you felt like you were going on the journey with Demi and could feel her struggles. It wasn't fake or cliche and was a book with unique problems and characters.

The question of the post is- would you rather be deaf or blind? I think deaf because I can still "talk" by signing or talking if I learn to lip read/get an illness. I can also still see and read, write and do other things.
