Being a hefty, deaf newcomer almost makes Will Halpin the
least popular guy at Coaler High. But when he befriends the only guy
less popular than him, the dork-namic duo has the smarts and guts to
figure out who knocked off the star quarterback. Will can’t hear what’s
going on, but he’s a great observer. So, who did it? And why does that
guy talk to his fingers? And will the beautiful girl ever notice him?
(Okay, so Will’s interested in more than just murder . . .)
Those who prefer their heroes to be not-so-usual and with a side of wiseguy will gobble up this witty, geeks-rule debut.

Well I'll say this, the hardcover and paperback are definitely catering to different audiences. The paperback seems to fit better with the description but I love the Scooby-Doo vibe of the hardcover!

I do think both covers work, but I prefer the hardcover because that's the version I read.
ReplyDeleteI agree -- the paperback seems to match the description, but the hardcover is much more eye-catching!
ReplyDeleteI like the paperback better...the hardcover always read as more middle grade to me and not high school.
