El Deafo

This is a graphic novel written by Cece Bell (GN BELL).  It is a memoir of the author's experience as a child struggling in school after she lost her hearing.  It was refreshing to read a story about a child with this handicap, but I thought the references to many things from the 70's will be lost on today's students.  Its message of tolerance, however, can never be heralded enough.
