Why read it?
1 author picked Muffled as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
"How can I be me in a loud world?" Amelia is sound sensitive. Even the smallest sounds, like soft footsteps, and gum chewing feel amplified in her head. Imagine having to deal with that discomfort each minute of the day? Gennari’s beautiful, detailed writing helped me feel exactly what daily life was like for Amelia, including her struggles to fit in at school and home. Mostly it made me empathetic to my soft-spoken, introverted students who deal with their outgoing classmates every day.
From Jody's list on kids who feel like outsiders in their family.
