(4) K-3 First Person Book series. Fifth-grader Mark finds it tough being the new kid at school, especially because he's deaf. On the basketball court, however, he eventually connects with his classmates. The prose in this brief story is somewhat stiff, but readers will appreciate Mark's realistic friendship with Keith, who good-naturedly trips Mark whenever he starts to hog the ball. An author's note about deafness and sign language is included.
