A Deaf Magical Academy? Yes, Please. This is a book review for A Handful of Spells by Kimberley A. Shaw. I grew up in the height of the Harry Potter era. And while She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has made the series complicated for many of us, the story of discovering you’re special and whisked away to a magical school? That theme shaped an entire generation. So when I saw a magical academy story centered on a hard-of-hearing girl, I didn’t hesitate.

A Handful of Spells has that magical academy nostalgia — one centered on access, language, identity, and belonging. One that lets a Deaf or hard-of-hearing child open a book and find magic waiting for them.

I took an unplanned social hiatus for my mental health and burnout. I am back and will be restarting this challenge as I was excited about it. #authorktjames #writesky #writing

I finished the “The Silent House” by Nell Pattison right before the new year. It is quite terrifying and kept me reading… and wondering. The deaf representation is CHAMP and I gave it 5 ⭐️.

My full written and ASL reviews are up - links in bio.
