An extraordinarily excellent book! A hilarious and insightful autobiographical kids graphic novel about the experience of growing up hearing impaired, and even more so, about the indignities and amazements of growing up and finding a true friend. As she finds her superpower where she least expects it—and hence, her superhero name—Cece is truly one of the most sympathetic characters you’ll meet. As a graphic novel that spans a kid’s life from pre-K to middle-school years, and is deeply in tune with the mind of a kid, this is a book that can be engaging for a long long time—from being read aloud to being read independently. By Cece Bell (whose other books are also excellent!).
