The bit about not responding to sounds especially made me smile.<br /><br />Also, Mattie = Adorable, so any story featuring him is going to be A Win anyway.<br /><br />I love that Cece wrote about herself - with rabbit ears. Until the blog tours and interviews about reading this book started posting, I hadn't realized she dealt with auditory impairment. She sounds kind of amazing as a person. I'm glad she exists.tanita✿davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01671822274852087499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-73823021107265146762014-10-26T13:03:33.509-05:002014-10-26T13:03:33.509-05:00I love your sneakiness with the child book bait, t...I love your sneakiness with the child book bait, too, Charlotte!

I can't wait to read it and will be sure to share it with my own 11-year-old son.Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-29926700559876524652014-10-25T09:07:37.068-05:002014-10-25T09:07:37.068-05:00Amen!

A good book's a good book, and it's frustrating that we are needlessly socializing kids (boys, especially) out of reading books about anything other than boys.
