El Deafo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I could put five thousand exclamation marks and not be able to express how good this book is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If something could be rated infinity then that’s exactly what I would rate “El Deafo”. What an amazing story based on how the author when she was really and I mean really little, became deaf. DEVASTATING! Later in the book, she discovers she needs glasses and her hearing aid breaks!! Another tragic turn of events in the life of this little girl! Surprisingly, she starts calling herself “El Deafo” and her constant frown, turns upside down! Well I don’t want to share too much but I’ll leave you with this…there is comedy in even difficult situations. I think it is a good book for ages 9 and up!!
Keep Calm and Read on!!!!
By the way, this was recommended to me by my 1st grade teacher!
Excellent book. Thanks for recommending it.
