Sign in middle school
library, for those liking
a diff'rent approach.

A visit from a Holocaust survivor/author brought me to this school library. I appreciate the new genre name given to books that were called comic books in my youth.  Certainly it will be more enticing to many young readers.  I think that however one can lead reluctant readers to love leisure reading is worthwhile.

I agree. I recently discovered a graphic novel that a friend's daughter was reading and she graciously let me borrow it. It was quite entertaining - and not as easy a read as the old comic books were!

From what have seen, particularly boys are drawn to this genre. I think this is a good thing.

I agree - getting them to read and enjoy it is the point!

I prefer comic books. Political correctness turns me off.
I agree with you! There are several book-bloggers I read who actually review graphic novels once in a while (and they're not kids)....I haven't read one although I've browsed through a couple in bookstores -- I think there's a difference between them and comic books (or at least the way comic books were when I was a regular reader of them, admittedly a zillion years ago ;>)!

How graphic is graphic :)

"Graphic" to me means a whole different thing! But, nobody asked me so, "graphic novels" it is!

I totally agree....graphic novels are actually quite a bit different than what our comic books were.....a lot more dialogue....my daughter has a floor to ceiling bookcase filled with them and they are getting quite worn

I've seen Shades of Grey described as a Graphic Novel but I assumes your notice refers to quite a different genre.

buildings reflected surprise- I'm standing right here but not visible! Our teacher guided us to stand in front of the joint of the two rounded panes of glass,  leading us to realize that we cast no reflection. sharing with two of my favorite memes Rebecca's   Haiku My Heart and James' Weekend Reflections
