Feel free to like, comment, and become a smart alec. High school senior piper wasnt born deaf, but by the age of six shed all but lost her hearing, which has left her reliant on hearing aids and lip readingand made some aspects of teenage life difficult. Five flavors of dumb was chosen to receive this years schneider family award for its artistic expression of a disability experience for an adolescent. If she does it, piper will become the bands manager and get her share of the profits. Antony s book respectfully and humorously portrays aspects of being a deaf teen in todays world, dealing with family, friends and every other imaginable situation with the dignity it deserves. But, piper vaughan did, and she has only a month to get dumb a paying gig. Piper has one month to get the rock band dumb a paying gig. Antony johns writing style is easy to read and filled with wit and charm. And in the meantime, enjoy every version of yourself you ever meet, because not everybody who discovers their true identity likes what they find. I started this saturday night 12911 and finished it early the following day. Five flavors of dumb is a novel ive had on my radar for awhile, but one i simply brushed off a countless number of times. It was never a priority on my list, but when i found myself stranded waiting for a long time with nothing to read but this novel on my kindle, i decided to give it a shot. This highlight is from colsters five nights at buds game, and my own face scares me. Piper has one month to get the rock band dumb a paying gig or she can kiss her college aspirations goodbye.
