(4) 4-6 After Charlie's parents dump him with his grandparents for the summer, the ten-year-old teams up with peppery deaf girl "Frog" (Francine) to learn American Sign Language and possibly solve a mystery. The story's capital-Q Quirkiness devolves from cute to irritating, but Kane's textual depiction of ASL is novel (if laborious for readers), and her portrayal of Deaf culture is highly detailed.
