The only thing different about Jake Zulinski is that he is deaf otherwise he's just a typical 6th grader. In this book he regales readers with funny situations he encounters because of his deafness. Enjoyable for all children as well as teachers of deaf or hard of hearing students. See also Those Sevy Blues and From A to Zulinski. [Deb Piper; (1996) 62 pages; soft cover]
