Book Reviews of Getting Graphic!: Using Graphic Novels to Promote Literacy with Preteens and Teens (Literature and Reading Motivation)
Book Review: An excellent introduction for teachers and librarians..
Summary: 4 Stars
to the world of graphic novels. Gorman delivers exactly the kind of info that busy teachers and librarians need: lots of annotated lists (including ten "safe" graphic novels), some context, and issue related to selecting, maintaining, and promoting a graphic novel collection. There's a great gloosary of terms (only lack a pronounication guide for terms related to Japanese animation), a guide to resources, and even a nice guide to publishers and distributers. On top of all this are some illustrations / covers from graphic novels, plus an illustration of the author drawn as a Librarian Superhero. Gorman does a superhero task of advocating and explaining the need for graphic novels in school and public libraries.
