The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin by Josh Berk


Great cover and title, but it seems like it's for younger folks, right? But at least it's a quick and joyful mystery read. Will Halpin is deaf and trying to make it at a "real" school instead of his old deaf school. On his first field trip, a classmate falls to his death in a cave, and Will decides to solve the case with the help of his new best friend.

The sense of humor seems a bit off at times, but the snarkiness made me laugh. And I just couldn't understand why the main character was in high school. It seemed like a junior high book to me.
