back in the old days
when someone talked about a graphic novel, it was something to stay away from...ie "porno"graphic novel. Not the kind of book that I would ever imagine myself reading. But graphic novels have apparently been around since the days when people had nothing to write on but caves. The term has been popularized for the past thirty years or so, which means that I am not exactly on the cutting edge of the genre. I read my first one this weekend. In fact, I had never even read a comic book, so the whole experience was pretty interesting for me. This book would be particularly good for girls between the ages of 7 and 14, depending on their reading ability and if they are into the fairytale/fantasy genre, which I am not. Nevertheless, I did enjoy how the pictures and the story line worked together...fun for change!
