Staff Pick of the Week: The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin

This week's book pick is The Dark Days of Hamburger Halpin by Josh Berk.

Will Halpin made the decision to transfer from his all-deaf school to the local high school, and knows there isn't any going back. And he knew it wouldn't be easy, but he's getting ignored by his new classmates even more than he expected. All of them, that is, except for Devon Smiley, who initially Will would like to distance himself from as it is clear that Devon is not by any means part of the in crowd. But when the very popular quarterback Pat Chambers falls to his death on a school field trip, Will finds himself teaming up with Devon to find Pat's killer. While Will is tired of being in the background, the fact that no one ever notices him just might be the key to finding out what happened to Pat Chambers.
