Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John
Piper is a seventeen-year-old high school senior, and she's just been challenged to get her school's super-popular rock band, Dumb, a paying gig. The catch? Piper is deaf. Can she manage a band with five wildly different musicians, nurture a budding romance, and discover her own inner rock star, though she can't hear Dumb's music? Complex characterizations, authentic dialogue and realistic ups-and-downs give this title chart-topping potential. - Kirkus Reviews, starred review I loved it and laughed out loud. Hilarious and so smart. Dumb proves that everyone, no matter what, deserves to be heard. - Catherine Gilbert Murdock, author of Dairy Queen
Antony John is the Schneider Award-winning author of Five Flavors of Dumb and Thou Shalt Not Road Trip. For many years he lived in North Carolina and was a regular visitor to the Outer Banks. He was bewitched by the beauty of the landscape and fascinated by the legends that surround them. Although Elemental is set in the future, it has its origins in the islands' remote past--an era of sailing ships, small, independent colonies, and still-unsolved mysteries. Antony now lives with his family in St. Louis, Missouri.
