Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A superpowered special edition of Cece Bell's #1 New York Times bestselling graphic novel El Deafo with 40 pages of all-new material.
Cece Bell's #1 New York Times bestseller graphic novel El Deafo is the origin story of a student with hearing loss and a hearing aid becoming a superhero.
Newbery Medal Winner * Now an Apple+ Animated TV Series!
Starting at a new school is scary, especially with a giant hearing aid strapped to your chest! At her old school, everyone in Cece's class was deaf. Here, she's different. She's sure the kids are staring at the Phonic Ear, the powerful aid that will help her hear her teacher. Too bad it also seems certain to repel potential friends.
Then Cece makes a startling discovery. With the Phonic Ear, she can hear her teacher not just in the classroom, but anywhere her teacher is in the school--in the hallway . . . in the teacher's lounge . . . in the bathroom! This is power. Maybe even superpower! Cece is on her way to becoming El Deafo, Listener for All.
But the funny thing about being a superhero is that it's just another way of feeling different . . . and lonely. Can Cece channel her powers into finding the thing she wants most: a true friend?
El Deafo is a book that will entertain children, give hearing-impaired children a hero of their own, and challenge others to consider an experience unlike their own. Like other great works for children, it provides the opportunity for young readers to consider how they would act or react in a similar situation, helping to build empathy and understanding through the power of story.
El Deafo: Superpowered Edition is a must-have collector's edition for existing fans and the perfect gift for new readers, with 40 all-new pages of childhood photographs, early sketches, notes from Cece, and much more!
Originally published in 2014, this edition includes bonus content.
