I loved this middle grades graphic novel. Cece gets sick when she is younger and loses her hearing. This alone makes it a must read in my opinion. There aren’t enough books that have deaf main characters, especially from a semi-biographical perspective. It’s important to me to read more about the struggles and successes of people all kinds of people. I will share this book with my children when they’re around 9.
Graphic: Vomit
Moderate: Bullying, Medical content, and Toxic friendship
