Customer Reviews

Great book!

Cece is a girl who gets meningitis at a very young age. She spends a while in hospital, and she cannot hear after that. I like this story because she thinks of herself as a superhero called “El Deafo”, and is trying to find a friend.

Loved It.

I think it's a great story about a young kid who has to deal with the difficulties of hearing loss. They identify the struggles and differences they face but also provide a lot of valuable information about it. Great book for kids to learn about other people and their unique situations.
