Sound Check by Jennifer Fenn (Roaring Brook Press) - moved from April 2022, then from July 2023, July 2024 and May 2025.
Win is a remarkably
gifted percussionist. He's also profoundly deaf and plays the drums with
his shoes off so he can feel the music through the soles of his feet.
He has it all: he's in a band on the verge of breaking out, and he's
madly in love with Tristen, their lead singer. The only thing he could
ever want: to hear Tristen sing.
Sound Check is told in
alternating narratives. The A side - Win decides to get a cochlear
implant that will allow him to hear. The B side - Win and Tristen's love
story from the day they first met to the day Win heard Tristen for the
first time. And in the silence between the tracks? Heartbreak.
