Macy isn’t having the best year. Her mother is getting married, her house has been put up for sale and, perhaps worst of all, she is in a fight with her best friend…just when she needs her the most. The only person paying any attention to Macy these days is her elderly neighbor, Iris. The only problem with that? Macy is deaf and Iris does not know sign language. Iris will be moving soon too, so Macy has been volunteered by her mother to help Iris pack. How is she supposed to communicate with this woman when she can’t even speak to her? Things get creative and soon a sweet friendship between the two neighbors forms as Macy learns about Iris’s past. Read this novel in verse to find out just what makes Iris so interesting, to see if Macy and her best friend will reunite, and to see how Macy will adjust to life in her new house with a new family.  (New Hampshire Great Stone Face nominee, 2018-2019)
