Squirrel Girl texts with Bucky in Squirrel Meets World by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale
I have just started reading this and the first friend Doreen makes after Tippy-Toe is a Deaf girl at her new school! Doreen tries talking to her in the cafeteria, and the girl shuts her down, saying she can’t understand her over the din. (Hearing aids suck in loud environments, yo.) So, rather than being deterred, Doreen goes home and brushes up HARD on the ASL that she learnt from her Deaf cousin, and tries again the next day. After being startled at Doreen knowing sign, she tentatively accepts her friendship.
