This is a very good book for people who like biographies. If you don't don't bother reading it because it will be very boring for you.

This book shows the way helen kellers' World of silence and darkness, To inspire her and everyone else about how to speak. During the 1800s, she knew that there was something wrong with her senses. But thanks to the help of Anne Sullivan, she and you, can learn new things! I recommend this book for the deaf, and blind.

In 1882 two year old Helen Keller became Blind an Deaf. In 1887 Annie Sullivan came to help teach Helen. She learned How to read, write, even speak properly! I'm her life time Helen wrote and published three books, she starred in a silent film, she even toured Japan! In 1936 her dead friend and teacher passed away one of the books Helen wrote was about Annie. This biography made me very interested in learning about Helen Keller and the amazing obstacles she went through with her head held high! Recommended for ages 10+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
