“ALSC’s three
Graphic Novels Reading Lists are full of engaging titles that are sure to
excite children,” said Ellen Riordan, ALSC president. “Librarians are
encouraged to download copies of these lists and distribute them to families
throughout their community.”
Graphic novels
on this list are defined as a full-length story told in paneled, sequential,
graphic format. The list does not include book-length collections of comic
strips, wordless picture books or hybrid books that are a mixture of
traditional text and comics/graphics. The list includes classics as well as new
titles that have been widely recommended and well-reviewed, and books that have
popular appeal as well as critical acclaim.
The titles
were selected, compiled and annotated by members of
the ALSC Quicklists Consulting Committee.
