“I laughed, I cried, I hung on to the edge of my seat as Arlo embarked on some wild adventures to reclaim his love and find his voice. A beautiful story, well-told.” -Samantha Koolbergen

“Tender, hilarious and decidedly uplifting.”

"I highly recommend this novel — it's a much needed, refreshing read!”

"Arlo's compelling and unique voice and story would be drive enough, but the explorations of ASL, communication styles, and developing assistive technology (Fell is a longtime ASL interpreter) truly make this a must-read."

A starred audiobook review! "Delightful coming-of-age debut novel ...." "Perfect for any reader wanting an enjoyable, sweet listen."
