Our Recommended Reading page is a collection of resources to help teachers and librarians stock high quality, education-worthy, graphic novels and comics in their classroom or school library. Each graphic novel or comic has been read and reviewed by trusted partners and friends. One special book per week is highlighted in our “Spotlight On…” section below.
