The Loudest Silence *0.767 PS

$60.00

The Loudest Silence: Two disabled queer teens find belonging in this poignant platonic love story about singing, signing, and solidarity. Casey and Hayden are both determined to hide who they really are. But when they cross paths at school, they bond over their shared love of music and their mutual feeling that they don’t belong, and the secrets come spilling out. Their friendship is the beating heart of this dual-perspective story featuring thoughtful disability representation, nuanced queer identities, and a lovably quirky supporting cast.

Sydney Langford is a queer, Deaf-Hard of Hearing, and physically disabled author whose biggest passion in life is creating stories that reflect the diverse world we live in—whether that be rom-coms about quirky, disabled teens; or contemporaries that feature queer joy. (0.767 Professional Studies CEUs)

Project Requirement: Read the book and respond to 10 short essay questions, totaling a 3,000 word minimum.
