Quick question!
I know there's a community on LJ where you post a description of a book and see if anyone knows what book it is... but I cannot think of it to save my life. Help?
Unless one of you knows it. I read it in junior high, but I'd love to get my hands on it again. It was about a young girl who goes to live in this new town. I'm not exactly sure why, but I believe there's a man? Her uncle? When she gets there, she sees a boy being whipped. Everyone thinks he's possessed because of the noises he makes, but that's only because he's deaf, which she slowly learns when she interacts with him. Eventually the people in town start to think she's a witch... I think? Wow, that's probably not helpful. It's vaguely historical, but I don't think it has a set period.
