description: Joseph Carl Taft is a boy with a distinguished name and a remarkable ability-- he can see into the future. But his ability is a heavy burden to bear, especially for a boy who cannot speak. But Semaphore is about more than language and the ability to move beyond one's own time. This achingly beautiful novel is also about misunderstandings and the terrible weight of fear. Semaphore is being released simultaneously with Surveyor, Hawkes' novel about two old friends, their magical and mysterious desert home, and the sudden shift in terrain that alters both their sense of place and the structure of their friendship. Surveyor is being released simultaneously with Semaphore, Hawkes' achingly beautiful novel about misunderstandings and the terrible weight of fear.
