Graphic novels powerfully attract kids and motivate them to read.
Many public librarians have built up graphic novel collections and have seen circulation soar.
School librarians and educators have reported outstanding success getting kids to read with graphic novels.
Students can learn much by studying how graphic novels "work,"
and comparing them to other forms of storytelling. Novels speak to us usually in a linear
written narrative; picture books tell a story with text accompanied by illustrations; film
does so with moving images and dialogue; and poetry can communicate on levels that no other
storytelling can. Graphic novels combine all these elements in their own unique way.
