Shannon Holbrook asked Cece Bell:

Hello Cece, I'm a reading teacher at the Sheehan School in Westwood, MA. Your book El Deafo has been the hot book this year at our school. All the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders have been borrowing it from our literacy library. I even did a 5th grade girls' book club with El Deafo. The girls loved it so much, they wanted to write you a letter. We sent it the publisher in Oct., and we're wondering if you received it?

Cece Bell Hi there! Gracious, I may have received this, but I have not been able to keep up with work and mail of late. Of course, that's no excuse! Let me look through what I've got (my publisher sends fan mail every now and then, in chunks), and I'll let you know ASAP. I'll look for Westwood, MA on the envelopes. My sincerest apologies! Please tell the girls that I said hi and THANK YOU for reading the book! I'll be in touch very soon. Thanks again!
