Ratings and reviews

I loved it. Helen Keller`s life is explained well in this book as well as Anne Sullivan's Helen's teacher. Anne died at 70 which was sad because to me that's young. So is 87 which is how old Helen was. Still a great book. I was fond of it. Helen Keller didn't let her being blind and deaf get in the way.

there was a book fair in my school and I purchased it of Rupee 195 and it's the same book. It means they are taking more money from us

I never felt so real before! I love it! I loved it because I liked how she learned how to speak easily and how to learn sign language
