On the Bright Side
Anna Sortino
When Ellie’s boarding school for Deaf students closes, she returns to her hometown of Cincinnati to finish high school. A hearing-aid and cochlear-implant user who is most comfortable with sign language, Ellie faces skeptical classmates, an interpreter who does not always convey her thoughts accurately, and parents who have never learned to sign. Jackson, a senior assigned to show her around, is dealing with unexplained health problems that have ended his soccer season. As they grow closer, Jackson is diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
