by Cece Bell
🏆 Winner 2024 Odyssey Award: Best Audiobook for Children
A graphic novel memoir about the author’s experiences of going to school in the 1970s wearing a huge hearing aid strapped to her chest. When she realises that the Phonic Ear enables her to hear her teacher not just in the classroom but anywhere in the school (including things she should not be hearing), she redefines herself as a superhero: El Deafo. But will being a superhero help her find what she really wants, a good friend?
