She ends up going to a school with lots of other deaf children. They realise she needs a hearing aid and she gets a special pouch to put it in. It’s a book about Cece Bell who wrote the book, which I like because she actually went through these things and the book is about her life when she was little.Ĭece is 4 years old when she is really ill in hospital and when she gets better she can’t hear.
“I liked this book because it made me understand more how deaf people might feel. Other than a few grammatical changes and spelling corrections, this is all Lucy’s own work. She spent hours making sure it included her favourite bits, how she felt about the book and if she would recommend it to anyone. We then found out that ‘El Deafo’ was included in The Guardian Young Critics Competition and Lucy asked if she could write her own review. She read it within one sitting and even declined an ice lolly which is testament to Cece Bell.
So much so, I just had to read it once she’d released it from her grip. My daughter was engrossed in this clever, witty and compelling graphic novel from the outset. I can’t help but feel compelled to post this review by my 8 year old of the award winning ‘El Deafo’ by Cece Bell.
