"The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin" is a combination of realistic fiction and mystery. The protagonist of the story is a deaf high school student struggling with attending mainstream school for the first time. He has to deal with his deaf friends' disapproval, parental worries and making friends when you can't hear. Not to mention teachers who don't understand how to teach hearing impaired students so they turn away when he's trying to lip read, students with pranks on their minds and solving a murder mystery.
This book was written well and covered a lot of ground, however, given a few references to sex, I would recommend this for high school rather than middle school.
