Read My Lips, by Teri BrownYoung Adult, 2009
When Serena moves to a new town/school, she prepares herself for the pitying glances she's used to as a deaf girl. But her skills at reading lips prove to be handy, and before she knows it, she's caught the eye of the It girl sorority at her local high school. But, by using her skills, is she staying true to herself, and more importantly, what she believes in?
A sweet story about finding out the consequences of gossip, and doing what you have to to 'fit in'. On the other hand, I thought a lot of situations in there were inappropriate for teenagers. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't think teenagers need more assurance that some things are ok and that responsibility is only for adults. Graded a C+.
