The Author notes were quite helpful in framing the reasons and connections as to why the story was written. Talking to others about these topics will give readers the chance to reflect and maybe begin to make change-just like Jilly’s family does in a bold way. The story is best read in a classroom or with family. This is where the power of Jilly P resides. What Jilly says will either match what young audience are thinking or make them realize they had never thought about it that way. She also has a liking for a deaf black boy she meets online via a chat room set up for a massively popular fantasy series. Next she witnesses racism in her own family and through the eyes of the deaf community. She has a new baby sister who is deaf and Jilly has her own ideas about how to deal with the disability. Jilly is a white middle school girl who reflects on the happenings in her life. Wow… a lot of topics to throw into one story-perhaps too many. Racism… Shootings of black youth… Treatment of deaf and deafness… White privilege… First crush.
