Bell, C. (2014). El Deafo. New York: Abrams.
This is an amazing story!! A girl named Cece, becomes deaf after she contracts meningitis at a young age. She finds out she's hearing impaired when she comes back home from the hospital. She goes through the trial and tribulations any child would go through. Cece deals with how people react to her being deaf, having a hearing aid, being embarrassed, making friends and eventually liking a boy. She deals with difficult situations by pretending to be a superhero.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone. It's funny and touching on so many different levels. This story is about the author herself, I love how she brought out her feelings into the story, it made that much more realistic.
