Mika's heart is broken, until he sees Leah. A smart, beautiful, and brave girl, Leah has been deaf since birth. When Mika meets her for the first time, he feels something electric. They cannot communicate much, so Mika decides to take a sign language course. His family and friends are skeptical, and Mika soon grows weary, too. The world of deaf people is so much different than his own. Can their two worlds intersect? There is also Sandra, Mika’s ex-girlfriend, who he cannot seem to get over. But Mika cannot shake that Leah has captured his heart. . . . Author Kathrin Schrocke tells the story of two teens and their tender, quirky, and extraordinary love.
“This is a contemporary love story...Some of the dialogue and references may be unfamiliar to American readers, but that does not take away from this delightful story.” —Library Media Connection
“Readers are left knowing that the strains of understanding between two cultures are complicated but not insurmountable.” —School Library Journal
