Plain and simple, this is the page of the author, Antony John. It contains actual background information on the author, so that we can get to understanding him better. Also, if you like the book, there's upcoming books that the site will advertise.

In the story, they specifically focus on two big rock stars who died at the age of 27. It turns out that there are a lot of rock stars that have died of this age, to the point that it's actually kind of creepy. This is a site dedicated to those musicians who are a part of the "27 Club."

In Piper's life, sign language is her favorite and easiest method of communication. In the world today though, there are not many people who know how to sign, including myself. Out of genuine interest, I have put this link up, as a way of starting that education.

In a rock band, one would expect the guitar players to know how to play a good number of chords. It turns out that two of the guitarists are quite ignorant, and Piper's little brother has to help out. This is just a site dedicated to showing all the chords and variations of the guitar.

This site is the National Association of the Deaf. It's the premier civil rights organization in the U.S. made for and by the deaf. After learning what feels like the genuine feelings of a deaf character, I feel like one can't help by try and see what they can do for the deaf.

The band is most definitely under the category of hard rock. This site is more connected the idea of hard rock cafe, but it's also got a lot to do with rock itself. The story might've been about a deaf girl, but it's also just as much about music, specifically hard rock.

Most of the time, we only think of how your hair looks as a big accessory to your physical appearance. In the story, it shows that a new haircut can make you feel alright again. This is just a simple article trying to address that very idea.

There are many different types of hearing aids for different types of people. It has a lot to do with the level of hearing that one has as well. This site gives valid information on hearing aids and a detailed procedure in how to pick one that best fits you.

Just like in first quarter, it seems that the story is set in Seattle again. Instead of showing the same home page of Seattle, I figured it'd be best to put it with the music scene in Seattle. I, myself, have heard many good things about the music scene in Seattle. I think this site will actually expand that knowledge and keep one up to date on all things music in Seattle.

Finally, here is a well done review for the book. It gives a good overview of what the book is about and should interest anyone into reading it. I hope that in the end, this site could convince someone to read the book.
