Maia asked Cece Bell:

I really like el deafo i checked it out in my grandma's library but how did rj palacio write a comment on your book?

Cece Bell My editor sent a copy of El Deafo to RJ Palacio before the book was released. She read it and really liked it. So she sent her comments to my editor, and her comments were printed on the cover of the book so that when it was officially released, everyone could see that RJ liked the book! It's called a "blurb" and some folks think it helps a book sell better to have another writer say nice things about it. RJ was really nice to do that. I know she must be really busy!
