Compass ~ With Bonus Story Awake

by Jennifer Gibson

Overview

Being a teenager is hard enough. To be hard of hearing on top of that is like being stuck in the middle of a never ending soap opera.

In Compass, the sequel to Sway, Jessie's life begins to change its course, sending her toward a new reality. When her world is suddenly ripped apart by an angry rival, the one person she trusted to stand by her side simply walks away. With her composure shattered, Jessie questions everything she believed about herself, and as her life takes her on a new path, it turns into a perilous journey full of surprising twists and turns.

About the Author

Growing up surrounded by a seemingly never-ending supply of books provided an ample playground for Jennifer Gibson’s imagination. A voracious reader at a young age, she delved into the rich worlds created by talented writers like Madeleine L’Engle, A Wrinkle in Time, which planted the seed of her passion for unique adventures. Encouraged by her creative writing teachers, her love for books blossomed into a full grown talent when she became inspired to create an original series based on her life as hard of hearing teenager.

Editorial Reviews

Compass was a very good book. It's hard to be a teenager, but even harder to be a teenager who is hard of hearing. Not quite deaf, but not fully hearing either, Jessie feels stuck between two worlds, seemingly not fitting in anywhere. Though her life is wrought with challenges, from being the victim of pranks and bullying by her school peers, to disbelieving teachers, and even vengeful dojo's sensei's, Jesse isn't about to let these any of these things hold her back.

Gibson's books open a window into the world of the disabled that is blunt, honest, and touching. Perhaps if Gibson's books had been available when she was a teenager, those idiots I want to beat senseless might have had a little more compassion.
