Miss Spitfire by Sarah Miller

Miss Spitfire will make you cry or be happy for the girl named Helen Keller. When Helen was born she was healthy and fine. When she was 18 months old she got a really bad fever that caused her to be deaf and blind. Her parents knew she needed help so they hired a woman named Annie Sullivan to teach Helen Keller sign language and Braille. Annie Sullivan helped Helen. They find out that they get along together. Helen grew up and went to college, she wrote her biography, and became a hero to other people. Annie stayed with Helen for many years.

At the end of the book is a list of places to get more information about Helen Keller.
