A graphic novel about a girl who is using hearing aid

El Deafo - Cece Bell

Cece is a child who lost her hearing after she got really sick. 

 

And now she has to wear hearing aid to school. What so fun about this book is that it was told from a first person perspective. What is it like for her to hear sound but not able to comprehend them. Or what challenges she face when she is watching TV or lip reading in the dark (she cannot).

 

How a young person navigate the world and think because she has hearing aid, she is a superhero, as she could hear much more when her teacher wear the mic that make her words much clearer to her. 

 

It is a fun read. The graphic is really good. And Cece made friends and how friends interactive with each other. 

 

I would recommend this to not just children but adult too. 

 

Nicely done.
