'A smart, authentic, brilliantly executed and sometimes blackly funny story' - Mike Shuttleworth, Readings 'The search for identity is a universal theme, yet Simon's story of confronting deafness and Deaf culture feels fresh... It avoids both condescending pity and inspirational fluff, instead offering an unpretentious look at the process of losing and finding oneself after a life-changing event... An honest, satisfying, and surprisingly original coming-of-age story. ' Kirkus 'Williams deftly handles plotting that is constantly shifting in time, looking forward with Simon's bursts of energy and backward with his bouts of self-doubt to capture the confusion of his sudden hearing loss, as well as the elation born of creativity. The result is a profound slice of Simon's life as he comes to grips with his new multifaceted identity as a deaf person and musical artist. An inspiring read that is told with verve and depth.' - Reinhardt Suarez, Booklist
