These novels are a little dark and deal with some sensitive subject matter (parental death) but the art work is amazing and each novel delves a bit deeper into the characters and leaves you wanting you more. As a mom, I really liked that Cece was a strong character who ultimately learns that her disability was not a weakness.īy Kazu Kibuishi - Emily & Navin lose their father in a tragic accident and are forced to move into their deceased great-grandfather's house where they find a mysterious amulet and are thrust into a dangerous adventure to save their mother. The story chronicles her journey in an honest and relatable way. She feels different, isolated and longs to simply fit in.
This is Victoria Jamieson's debut novel and we look forward to seeing more from her in the near future.īy Cece Bell - Cece suffers from hearing loss and must wear a hearing aid. The story was realistic, humorous and heartfelt. The book has lessons on friendship, being honest, working hard, perseverance and even the parent-child relationship. Astrid has heart, spirit and determination.
Roller Girl by Victoria Jamieson - Being 12 isn't easy, especially when your faced with best friend troubles, impending junior high and joining a junior roller derby league when you can barely skate. Her adventures are filled with fantastical creatures, unique friends and lots of bravery. These books are fun and captivating as we join Zita on her intergalactic adventures. I was 100% correct! She can't wait for more of these to be released and reads them as soon as they arrive in the mail.īy Ben Hatke - Zita's best friend is abducted by aliens and she must save him. I was so excited to find them in graphic novel form by our fave author because I knew my daughter would be drawn in. We hope there is more to come!īy Raina Telgemeier - I loved the Babysitters Club books when I was in elementary school. I love that the sisters learn how important that they are to each other in Sisters and that Raina learns to embrace who she is, how she looks and what being a true friend means in Smile. Raina writes in a relatable and laugh out loud humorous manner. She has read both Smile and Sisters numerous times. My 9 year old stumbled upon Sisters at a school book fair and was instantly drawn to it because 1.) It was about two sisters (definitely relatable!) and 2.) It was a graphic novel which is currently her favorite genre. By Raina Telgemeier - We adore Raina's graphic novels.
