Supersorda
(Comic)

"Sinopsis: En estas memorias llenas de humor en forma de novela gráfica, la autora e ilustradora Cece Bell narra cómo perdió el oído cuando era muy pequeña y su experiencia con el Phonic Ear, un potente -e incómodo- audífono. El Phonic Ear permite a Cece oír -a veces, incluso cosas que preferiría no escuchar-, pero también la aísla de sus compañeros. Lo único que quiere Cece es encajar y encontrar un amigo de verdad, alguien que la aprecie por quien es. Tras un montón de problemas, descubre cómo aprovechar el poder del Phonic Ear y llegar a ser «SuperSorda, la que los escucha a todos». Y, lo más importante de todo: consigue encontrar su lugar en el mundo y la amistad que tanto ansiaba."--,From publisher.

"Starting a new school is scary, even more so with a giant hearing aid strapped to your chest. At her old school, everyone in Cece's class was deaf. Here she is different. She is 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?"--,From publisher.
