ASL High A Deaf Teen Drama & Romance Novel by Sandra Sloat At Lincoln High, Skylar Adams has learned how to survive by staying invisible. As a Deaf student in a hearing school, she navigates crowded hallways, whispered rumors, and constant misunderstandings using her eyes instead of her ears. She has her routines, her boundaries, and her small circle of safety—and that’s enough. Or at least, it has to be. Everything changes when Noah Rivera arrives. He’s hearing—but fluent in ASL. An artist. New to town. And unafraid to see Skylar exactly as she is. As friendship deepens into something more, Skylar finds herself pulled into a spotlight she never asked for. Social media rumors grow louder. Cruel attention spreads beyond the hallways. And Skylar must decide whether staying silent is still protecting her—or holding her back. ASL High is a heartfelt young adult novel about identity, visibility, and connection. Centered on Deaf culture and American Sign Language, it explores what it means to be seen in a world that doesn’t always listen.
