| Publisher Description: Piper is a seventeen-year-old high school senior, and she's just been challenged to get her school's super-popular rock band, Dumb, a paying gig. The catch? Piper is deaf. Can she manage a band with five wildly different musicians, nurture a budding romance, and discover her own inner rock star, though she can't hear Dumb's music? Complex characterizations, authentic dialogue and realistic ups-and-downs give this title chart-topping potential. - Kirkus Reviews, starred review I loved it and laughed out loud. Hilarious and so smart. Dumb proves that everyone, no matter what, deserves to be heard. - Catherine Gilbert Murdock, author of Dairy Queen |
