El Deafo by Cece Bell

I read the book El Deafo. It is about a real story that happened to the author Cece Bell. It is about a young girl who gets meningitis. She soon is unable to hear. This book takes place in the 70's so science is not as advanced as now so she has to wear BIG hearing aids. Her journey is rough but she lives through it. Halfway through the book Cece came up with a nickname for herself named El Deafo. I liked this book because it is one of my favorite kind of books, a comic book! The author from Wonder, R. J. Palacio said "I love El Deafo! It's everything you could want in a book: funny and touching and oh so smart."
