The impact of deafness on Cece’s relationships is a major theme throughout the story-particularly with regards to her friendships. The story follows Cece through the next five years as she tries to learn to live in a world of hearing-abled people who don’t necessarily understand her disability, and how it affects her life and her relationships. I saw it in the Scholastic Book Club catalogue and decided to get it because it sounded interesting (and Scholastic do a good job of selling books through Book Club at a nice discount).Įl Deafo is the semi-autobiographical story of Cece Bell who, at age four, contracts meningitis and loses most of her hearing. Next on the To Read list: El Deafo by Cece Bell (Amulet Books, 2014).ĭespite it winning a Newbery Honor and an Eisner Award in 2015, I hadn’t heard of this book.
