Apple is my Sign by Mary Riskind. (Houghton Mifflin, 1981)
A 10-year-old boy returns to his parents' apple farm for the holidays after his
first term at a school for the deaf in Philadelphia.

Gaps in Stone Walls by John Neufeld. (Athenuem, 1996)
In the late 19th century, hereditary deafness affected at least 1/5 of the
population of Chilmark, a town on Martha's Vineyard. Among this group is
Merry Skiffe, an artistic 12-year-old whose peaceful life unravels when wealthy
miser Ned Nickerson is murdered on a dark road one Saturday night and
Merry finds herself among the four residents of Chilmark who have no alibi.
