I really enjoyed True Biz! As someone who has always wanted to learn American Sign Language, this was a great read that had both a great storyline and delved into the history of sign language. I even learned a few signs from this book. While the plot seemed a bit unfinished at the end, I still enjoyed the atmosphere that Sara Nović established in a school for the Deaf. I love anything that takes place on an academic campus and True Biz was no different. 

 

Like on any school campus, there is drama and River Valley School for the Deaf is no different. When a student on campus goes missing, all hell breaks loose. True Biz is the story leading up to this event in which we learn about several students, their relationship with each other, and their relationship with Deafness. This is very much a character-driven novel that I really enjoyed. I wouldn’t say it was one of my absolute favorites, but it is definitely worth the read.
