| Description: | NEW EDITION WITH TEACHER'S NOTES:14 year old Marcus is the best football player dealing with deafness, shifting friends, crazy parents and a 'special measures' school. Marcus is so good at football that there''s a very real chance he''ll be signed by Manchester United. But when he discovers he may be losing his hearing, his whole world falls to pieces and he finds himself having to put them back together on his own. But is this feeling of isolation real or just a consequence of his own behavior? While dealing with parents, friends and first girlfriends, Marcus gradually understands that accepting the help of others is ultimately an acceptance of self. A novel about friendship and family, The Silent Striker explores the issue of disability, identity and deafness, and the different ways in which we can choose to handle it. |
