Graphic Novels are becoming hugely popular in my neck of the woods. Personally I have found them very useful for teaching kids to read, especially for fourth grade on up through high school. I have found some over this past year that I have absolutely LOVED! This being true, I have been asked more than once for recommendations. So here is my list I compiled with links to Amazon. I started by taking them out of my library to read and see if I liked the particular book.
Of course there are many genres and comics and with so many out there, in reality, just find a subject you like and see if there is a graphic novel form of it to read.
The following is my list of my favorites. I have read them all.
An extremely fun time for me.
