This review is from: Dont Stop the Music (Paperback)

Without pity or pathetic descriptions, a story is told of two dynamite kids - neither of whom are able to speak out loud. Mr. Perske portrays his friends with warmth and caring and tells of an adventure endearing for anyone to read. I have a non-verbal son who enjoyed this thoroughly and have recommended it to everyone I come in conctact with who knows a disabled teen. Wish he would write another !
