6/24/2023 0 Comments Set Me Free by Ann Clare LeZotteSo when an old acquaintance summons her to an isolated manor house outside Boston to teach a young deaf girl to communicate, Mary agrees. Three years after being kidnapped as a "live specimen" in a cruel experiment to determine the cause of her deafness, Mary Lambert has grown weary of domestic life on Martha's Vineyard, and even of her once beloved writing. "Mary seems set to become a true hero-adventurer, an almost larger-than-life sleuth, teacher, and woman of action and while the story’s subject matter is serious in its engagement with history’s ills, LeZotte conveys a sense of real enjoyment in having Mary disrupt…the prejudices and expectations of the status quo." - The Horn Book “Full of adventure and twists…a gripping tale of historical fiction.” - Booklist “Instantly captivating…will keep readers hooked until the very end…A simultaneously touching and gripping adventure.” - Kirkus Reviews A riveting standalone companion to the Schneider Family Book Award winner, Show Me a Sign by Deaf author and librarian, Ann Clare LeZotte.
