[nabs-l] Blind Characters

[Julie McGinnity]

Hi Kaley,

How about the Things series (Things Not Seen is the first one) by
Andrew Clements.  There is also Beastly by Alex Flinn.  If you want a
book where blindness is actually the main theme, you can look at Blind
by Rachel DeWoskin.

Justin is referring to the Sherry Moore series by George D. Schuman.
I don't know how many books the author wrote in that series as I've
only read the first one.

If I think of more, I'll send them to the list!  Hope this helps!
