The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin by Josh Berk


I really liked this book. :) I also read this book on my new Nook that I got - I checked out this book through my local library to put on my Nook - pretty cool!

Hamburger Halpin was a character I couldn't help but connect with - he was so honest and real. I also know sign language so that made this book interesting to me as well.

From Amazon:
Will Halpin is the new kid at school. This is a tough situation even in the best of circumstances, but Will is also deaf, and his self-image isn’t great (he compares his body to a “sedentary manatee”). Having left a school for the deaf, Will survives at his first public school with a lot of lip-reading, texting, and the friendship of another social outcast, Devon Smiley. Together, the two students become a duo of misfit Hardy Boys who investigate the death of a classmate while on a field trip to the Happy Memory Coal Mine.

Happy Reading! If you read The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin, comment on this post and let me know how you liked it! :)
