The Orange Houses by Paul Griffin
Tamika Sykes, AKA Mik, is hearing impaired and way too smart for her West Bronx high school. She copes by reading lips and selling homework answers, and looks forward to the time each day when she can be alone in her room drawing. She's a tough girl who mostly keeps to herself and can shut anyone out with the click of her hearing aid. But then she meets Fatima, a teenage refugee who sells newspapers, and Jimmi, a homeless vet who is shunned by the rest of the community, and her life takes an unexpected turn.Paul Griffin is the author of Ten Mile River, The Orange Houses, Stay With Me, and Blazing Blue, all of which have won awards. In New York City, he lives, trains dogs, and writes.
