Thanks to Yorkshire Publishing, I received a copy of Careful What You Hear by Helen Dunlap Newton in exchange for my honest review. This middle grade novel showcases 2 children who become spies for the United States government after becoming hurt in two separate accidents. Noah has a cochlear implant that enables him to read thoughts and Lena is an amputee who wears a prosthetic. She also has an eidetic memory.

Butterfinger The team learns to trust each other and each other's strengths. Besides the mind reading and working for the government, I thought Newton kept the characterization real. Children argue, make jokes, and the adults are always trying to keep them quiet and calm. Furthermore, it is evident that she has done research to the effects of cochlear implants and to the trauma that both main characters fight to control.

Butterfinger While reading Do You Hear What I Hear? and its sequel, I know, how inspiring this will be to children who need to overcome physical and mental obstacles. It should have been written a long time ago. I have two students in mind - one who passed away as a child, who is still very much missed. NB WOULD HAVE LOVED THIS BOOK. I truly hope this series becomes the next DogMan. It deserves it.

Publication Date is February 18.
