Alexis Powell is pretty, smart, and a great soccer player, and she seems intent on ignoring Megan. Is Alexis shy, or is it because Megan is deaf? Megan gains some insight when the girls are assigned as partners for the science fair. Alexis' behavior around people who are «different» seems to be related to having an autistic brother. This surprises Megan, whose family and friends accept her deafness as part of their everyday lives. As Megan's dad reassures her, «Perfect isn't such a problem in the Merrill family.» Some readers might roll their eyes at the lengths to which this story chronicles Megan's dramas; however, for the target audience, this book perfectly captures the intensity of a young girl's life, when even glitter and feathers on party invitations can generate high excitement. 941 $a 3 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204073337.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110055254.0 952 $l FAPA397 $d 20101104172000.0 $m YA MAT 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B67062C06BF611DEA13FF332A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b JIMInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
