If you think graphic novels are still just superhero books think again. There has been a huge increase in the types and number of graphic novels that are being published for kids. Our graphic novel collection is hugely popular with our patrons, including those kids who normally complain about reading. Graphic novels are no longer tailored just for boys either. An excellent book for girls who would like a female heroine is Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale (the cover of the book is pictured to the right).There are now historical graphic novels like The 1918 Flu Pandemic by Katherine Krohn. Popular series that first appeared in regular book form are being turned into graphic novels like the Time Warp Trio Series by Jon Scieszka, Nancy Drew based on the series by Carolyn Keene and Warriors by Erin Hunter. These join the graphic novel bookshelves with popular series that are only in graphic novel format like Babymouse by Jennifer Holm and Bone by Jeff Smith. So bring home a handful of graphic novels along with regular books to tempt your picky readers or to intrigue your book devourer. There are plenty of great titles to choose from and they are all together, near the easy to read shelves. Happy Reading! --Rachel V.
