With a growing interest in graphic novels in high school and college level literature, there has become an increasing need for transitional graphic novels. The Association for Library Service to Children has released a companion list for librarians to consider with age-appropriate options for graphic texts. The multi-level learning involved in graphic novels, with the aesthetic story line represented through images and the syntactical story line represented through language, calls on multiple intelligences to analyze the narrative. It also encourages students who may not be drawn to traditional books to think about alternative texts.
This article leads to the grade-appropriate suggestion lists which are great resources for libraries looking to incorporate graphic novels into their collections.
