DYSTOPIAN BOOKS AGAIN SEIZE POWER
"The new breed of dystopian novels combines classic dystopian themes of cruel governments and violent, restrictive worlds with a few new twists—badass heroines and romance. To mark the movie release of the most popular of this new wave of books, The Hunger Games, we examined the history of the dystopian genre to see how it has evolved and why it's so popular today."

If you are unconvinced of the real reading value of graphic novels take a look here at some of the evidence. GNs (and magazines for that matter) are often spurned as bad habits taking the place of "real reading". This is a mistaken notion and a lost opportunity. Quite apart from this, it is disrespecting the reading preferences of many young people. Respecting personal choice is a vital attitude for anyone who wants to successfully advise teens on reading.
