Wow, It's been awhile since I've read a whole book in 1 day but I didn't want to put this one down. Having teen boys in the house I could really relate to the characters. I found myself laughing through out the book but by the end, I must confess, it brought a tear. It's a story that truely brings out how siblings can bond in a way that can't be explained despite their diffenences.

The book "Can You Feel the Thunder" is by Lynn E. McElfresh. The main character, Mic Parson, has a older sister named Stephanie that is deaf and blind. A new kid comes to school and sits with Mic and his friends, Freemont and Stolks. The new kid is a total NERD! He said he has a sock collection of 280 pairs of socks. His friends make fun of Mic's sister, Stephanie because she runs into walls and makes weird nosies. I like the ending the most. I really liked this book. I could relate to it in many ways. If you like wacky books, read this one soon!

A delight to read! Can You Feel the Thunder portrays the challenges and benefits of growing up with a deaf-blind sibling. McElfresh relays Mic Parson's trials with equal parts humor and tenderness. The result is a wonderful, down-to-Earth, special story. I predict a sudden upsurge in the number of hand-prints on window panes in neighborhoods everywhere. Well done!

Can You Feel The Thunder is a wonderful book that captures the essence of acceptance. Children and adults alike will never look at another person the same way again.

This is a book that has touched my heart it is about a boy named Mic who has a death and blind sister and a friend called Vern or to some people NERD BOY. I like this book because it tells the feelings of a boy with a death and blind sister. I have a diseabled sister who is brain damaged by vaccines. She may be anoying sometimes but i love her. The author came to are school because of are teacher Mrs.Harris who meet the author in the 1,000 islands. I got to learn about the book and how this book is related to here because she had a death and blind sister. This book is wonderful so i sugjest you buy it is a once in a lifetime experience!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
