| Public School Superhero by James Patterson and Chris Tebbetts; illustrated by Cory ThomasGraphic Novel Hybrid.

He's also the fictional creation of 6th-grader Kenny Wright, who lives with his grandma, loves chess, and gets bullied at his crowded city school. The school's new principal, however, actually seems to care about Kenny, so when an unwanted transfer threatens to take her away, Kenny channels Stainlezz Steel for the courage to step up and speak out. Peppered with comic book-style illustrations, Public School Superhero is an honest (and hilarious) peek into one kid's life and imagination. |

| The Marvels by Brian SelznickFiction. In 1766, young Billy Marvel survives a shipwreck and gets a job at a fancy London theater. In 1990, Joseph Jervis runs away from school to look for his uncle in London. Billy's story is presented entirely through lifelike, carefully shaded pencil illustrations, while Joseph's is told only through words. The way in which these two characters connect might surprise you, even if you're already familiar with Brian Selznick's layered, award-winning storytelling. Based on a true story, The Marvels is a bittersweet tale of lost love and found family that will stay with you long after the final page. (Fans of Brian Selznick may also be interested in the movie version of his book Wonderstruck, in theaters this fall.) |
