I picked this up intending to read a few pages just to get a feel for it and ended up finishing it in one sitting. So well done!
I’ve been wanting to read this book since I learned what it was about, and all the buzz and awards being won just egged me on! I finally snagged a copy at the library, and I’m SO glad I did! I read it in just a couple hours because it’s such a good, quick, fascinating read. I’ve read a lot of graphic novel memoirs lately, but I must say I LOVE this method of memoir! Especially seems appealing for young adults. The full color illustrations in this book grab your attention and won’t let go. Can’t wait to read more by Cece Bell!

I wanted so much for Cece to find a great and loyal friend! And eventually she does! Hooray for El Deafo, Cece's imagined-superhero alter-ego who uses her "Phonic Ear" hearing device as a weapon and even as a love spell. A great glimpse into the loneliness of being different, the importance of true friends, and the healing power of imagination.

Childhood girl friendships are described pretty honestly, which is cool. Enjoyed this book a lot.
Excellent. Funny, sweet, honest, and slightly awkward. Highly recommended for ages 8-11 and adults.
What a wonderful book! I am so glad it received the Newbery Honor. It is about time children's literature features children with special needs in such a positive and realistic light. Kudos to CeCe Bell for sharing her story.
