El Deafo

This book is based off the childhood of the author and offers some great perspective of what it's like growing up deaf and some struggles she went through like friendship and dealing with being self conscience. I particularly enjoyed that she could view her differences like super powers when she had her equipment with her [and even got to play hero when they didn't want to get caught by the teacher. (hide spoiler)] A fantastic read and I also learned a lot from it. ~Ashley
