Cece was 4 when a bout of meningitis left her profoundly deaf. With the help of a fancy hearing aid, she does well in school and has a few close friends. Cece has a special power ar school: when her teacher wears the microphone, Cece can hear her anywhere in the building, whether she's gossiping with other teachers in the lounge or peeing in the bathroom. Cece is El Deafo! 
 this is a great memoir about a kid d overcoming disability, and will be a great choice for summer reading (entering 6th grade, I think), if I can sell administration on a comic. hand this one to kids who enjoyed Wonder.
