New York Times Bestseller
A 2015 Newbery Honor Book Going to school and making new friends can be tough. But going to school and making new friends while wearing a bulky hearing aid strapped to your chest? That requires superpowers! In this funny, poignant graphic novel memoir, author/illustrator Cece Bell chronicles her hearing loss at a young age and her subsequent experiences with the Phonic Ear, a very powerful—and very awkward—hearing aid.
The Phonic Ear gives Cece the ability to hear—sometimes things she shouldn’t—but also isolates her from her classmates. She really just wants to fit in and find a true friend, someone who appreciates her as she is. After some trouble, she is finally able to harness the power of the Phonic Ear and become “El Deafo, Listener for All.” And more importantly, declare a place for herself in the world and find the friend she’s longed for.

I got this book in the Library
I love this book
El Deafo is my favorite graphic novel ever! It's so sweet
when I read this book I went over something that really touched me. I realized that even if you are deaf, it doest mean that you are that different from others. Its only that you cant hear. You can still give the same emotions, and stuff. It was 1 of the most inspirational books Iv eva read.
I like this book because I went throught the same thing. almost.
Cece is brave and a good role model for all of us with differences or that are regarded as different or weird (hmm... I wonder how that sounds familiar... IT IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE).
Cecelia is a huge inspiration for all of us with differences. She pushed me to be myself against all odds. This is a fantastic graphic novel I wish to finish. Cece will continue to be the best hero she can be. I especially enjoyed her imagination and adorable interpretation of the world, which is full of superheroes and heroic deeds
It is a awesome book I love it I hope there is a second book
this book is awesome
