Those weasels are up to something... Between them, Bernard and Melody Earls have looks, charm, brains...everything but money. That's why they steal from the rich and give to themselves. So when Alexander Hamilton Plaskett hires them to nick a silver statuette of a pine marten from his brother Paul Revere Plaskett, they're happy to oblige. But it won't be as easy as it looks. For one thing, the little beast is guarded by Fitzroy Fortresses, the best security system money can buy. For another, the five Plaskett siblings are obnoxious buffoons.

Young Marco Lippa is a healthy 12-year-old: carefree and prone to dreaming. The star pitcher for his baseball team, he hits the winning home run against their crosstown rivals. But the revelry soon turns into something different, as Marco becomes sick. Rushed to the hospital and stuck with needles, poked, and prodded, his world spins out of control. When he wakes up, he's deaf, and his dreams crumble. Sounds of Silence tells the story of Marco Lippa's coming to terms with his deafness, his grief and anger, and his lost dreams.
