Synopsis

When you don't know where you belong, who are you really?

Jazmine's deaf. And she's getting tired. Tired of trying hard to fit in and pretending to be like everyone else.

When Jaz goes to deaf camp, a new world opens up to her: a world where she finally seems to have a place.

But when you leave one world and enter another, what happens to the friends and family you leave behind? And why is one of her new deaf friends suddenly pushed out of the group?

Which world will Jazmine choose to live in? Can she straddle both? And how will she figure out the best way of being Jazmine?

About this title

Review

Paterson's character Jazmine and her new friends are deaf but this is not a book about deafness. With a wonderful garden metaphor that resonates throughout the series, this book offers believable characters and an unpredictable plot that would be perfect to add to any reading list. The series tackles teen relationships, mean girls, family secrets, fitting in, identity, and characters finding themselves.
I hope that you enjoy it as much as I have.
