EL DEAFO by Cece Bell, read by Sarah Tubert, Lexi Finigan, Jennifer Aquino, Fred Berman, Bailey Carr, Nicky Endres, Matt Godfrey, Avi Roque, Sanya Simmons
Cece Bell’s graphic memoir for kids is brilliantly adapted for audio with a full cast and thoughtful production. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Kendra Winchester discuss Cece’s story, which starts in her early childhood when she lost her hearing after an illness and continues through to middle school. Cece starts school with special earphones attached to a box around her neck, connected to a mic worn by her teachers—not always correctly—and she imagines herself a superhero able to hear her teachers as they travel around the school. She begins to navigate making friends and also deals with bullying. The audiobook editing imitates what Cece hears through her hearing aids, illustrating the different kinds of sounds she experiences. With vibrant performances from the cast and the careful production, EL DEAFO makes for an engaging audiobook.
