El Deafo by Cece Bell

Cece is moving schools, and changing schools is stressful. It's even more anxiety inducing because Cece is leaving her special school for deaf students for a school full of strangers who won't understand why she has to use hearing aids. Cece has used her "Phonic Ear" for a few years, but even though the giant device is normal for her, it's something that makes other children stare.

Soon after her new year starts, though, Cece realizes that her hearing device gives her superpowers. She can hear conversations in the teacher's lounge and whispers in the hallway. It turns out that making new friends isn't so hard, and that what makes Cece different isn't so bad after all.

El Deafo is a super fun read. I loved the humor that the author develops, and I really liked that this was an autobiography (Cece in the graphic novel is the real Cece Bell that wrote the story!).  I'd recommend this book to anyone who is a fan of Raina Telgemeier or other graphic novels that are fun, colorful, and have happy endings.

  1. This is how my associate Wesley Virgin's biography launches in this shocking and controversial video.

    Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he revealed hidden, "MIND CONTROL" secrets that the government and others used to obtain everything they want.

    As it turns out, these are the exact same tactics lots of celebrities (especially those who "became famous out of nowhere") and top business people used to become wealthy and famous.

    You probably know how you use only 10% of your brain.

    That's because most of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe this expression has even taken place IN YOUR own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head 7 years ago, while driving a non-registered, beat-up bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3 in his bank account.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with going through life payroll to payroll! When will I finally make it?"

    You've taken part in those conversations, isn't it so?

    Your own success story is waiting to happen. You just have to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
