Smelly Hearing Aids and Fishy Lips: A deaf teenager's journal

Egg Flounder is your average teenage boy in all ways except for one thing: he is deaf. This is Egg's journal of his "floundering" attempts to live in a hearing world: taking speech lessons from old Mrs. Tautog so not to sound like a "Frenchman with a cold", coping with loud whistling hearing aids, squinting to lip-read his girlfriend in a dark disco and many other hilarious misfortunes.
We are treated with Egg's absurd and surrealistic philosophical musings, his ad-libbed school presentations and just plain wonderings, such as why the biblical Adam is portrayed as having a belly button?
