ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

El Deafo by Cece Bell tells the story of a young girl named Cece who loses her hearing due to meningitis. The narrative follows Cece as she navigates the challenges of being hearing impaired, particularly after she gets a powerful hearing aid called the Phonic Ear. This device allows her to hear her teacher wherever she is in the school building, giving her a secret, and sometimes overwhelming, insight into what others are saying.
