Critics Review
Praise for Charlie & Frog: “Kane’s debut, a light and engaging mystery, takes on added depth through its focus on the Deaf community.”–Publishers Weekly“An enjoyable read that artfully mixes adventure, heart, and cultural competence.”–Kirkus Reviews“In addition to a fun-filled adventure, Kane’s novel explores the difference between hearing and truly listening.”–School Library Journal“The mystery here is entertaining, but what makes the book unique is its positive and thorough incorporation of deafness. Kane is a graduate of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf, and she seamlessly integrates American Sign Language (ASL) and deaf characters into the story, subtly reminding readers that these are capable, complete individuals. A worthy addition to mystery collections.”–Booklist
