I enjoy reading graphic novels and comics/comic strips; I think students should be taught to read them critically, just as they would a boring ol' book with no pictures -- why this layout, these colors? what does the facial expression or font style tell you about the characters? Reluctant writers can create comic panels as a way of learning and practicing the elements of fiction and non-fiction writing. Can you tell me a story using these images and/or can you tell me the story without the images?

Our student book reviewers would love to hear from you! Did you read this book too? Like it, love it, or left it? Are there similar books you think they might enjoy? What is your favorite book of all time?
Thank you.
