Midnight Gulch used to be a magical place, a town where people could sing up thunderstorms and dance up sunflowers. But that was long ago, before a curse drove the magic away. Twelve-year-old Felicity knows all about things like that; her nomadic mother is cursed with a wandering heart. But when she arrives in Midnight Gulch, Felicity thinks her luck's about to change. A "word collector", Felicity sees words everywhere - shining above strangers, tucked into church eaves, and tangled up her dog's floppy ears - but Midnight Gulch is the first place she's ever seen the word "home".

Acclaimed author Peg Kehret has written the true story of the year when she was twelve and stricken with polio. At first paralyzed and terrified, she fought her way to recovery, aided by doctors and therapists, a loving family, supportive roommates fighting their own battles with the disease, and plenty of grit and luck. With the humor and suspense that are her trademarks, Peg Kehret vividly recreates a year of heartbreak and triumph.

Publisher's Summary

Sarah Miller's accomplished debut presents a fictionalized account of Anne Sullivan's life and her time as Helen Keller's teacher. Arriving at Ivy Green in 1887, Anne was a partially blind orphan who had been tasked with teaching the difficult blind, deaf, and mute girl to communicate. Anne quickly learned, along with Helen, that "words are a miracle".

Miss Spitfire left me aflame with joy.

The story of young Helen Keller is told through the voice of her teacher, Annie Sullivan, and what a marvelous voice it is. Miss Sullivan's own backstory is woven masterfully throughout her experiences of trying to unlock the mind 6 year old Helen.
Miss Spitfire is a triumphant story of tribute to mankind's innate intelligence, to the gift of language, and to the blessed role of a teacher.
I highly recommend this book for readers of any age.

small break between chapters necessary

The story and narrator were great. I found it sitting however the space between end of chapter and new chapter. They (the producers) could have have put a small lull between the new chapter. It was very distracting but this is a small annoyance to the producers and not in anyway to the author or narrator.

Strong and engaging

My children (12 and 10) and I really liked this book! Sarah Miller writes with a distinct and bold narrative voice here, and the characters made us want more of the story. "What?! Is that it?!" That's what we all said as the book ended.

There are some tough moments in the memories of Annie Sullivan, and some interesting and visceral descriptions, and I was unsure here and there if I had made a mistake listening to this with the children. But no, it was appropriate, if sad and even a little frightening at times - emotionally challenging, but no language or sexual content. It was good learning that lead to thoughtful discussions, gratitude for our ears and eyes that work well, and prayers for those whose eyes and ears don't. It was a great homeschool choice for us!

One note for the producer: the lack of any pause (really, not even a split-second!) after the last word of one chapter and the announcement of the next chapter, was jarring. A brief pause would help. : )
