The idea is El Deafo is trying to be like a superhero in the girl’s mind and the superhero is able to hear the teacher wherever she goes because she has a microphone on her and you could go to another room or go to the toilet and the person is able to hear that because she has one of one of those hearing aids, so she feels like a superhero, hence ‘El Deafo’.īut it’s not without the challenges because the girl…the girl? I don’t know if the girl…they are rabbits really. The thing is with this book is that it is written and illustrated by Cece Bell and the illustration and the storyline is kind of like a semi-autobiography of a Cece Bell’s life grown up going to school, those big chunky hearing aids, but you have to wear it around the neck and the teacher had a separate microphone. I finished it quite recently and it’s a great book if you want to have a fun way to learn about a child going through school, primary school and trying to have friends, but it’s hard to get used to the hearing aid and one of those old-fashioned hearing aid. Now I know I said book review, but it’s actually a graphic novel and very well illustrated graphic novel as well.Īnd it’s great, it’s really actually quite fun. Today, I want to do a quick book review about ‘El Deafo’.
