Recommendations time! Here are some graphic novels I suggest for younger readers (7+, but please evaluate each reader individually). I tried to focus on realistic stories and characters, even when the settings tip toward the fantastical.
That’s right! I’ve signed with @AUAgency for presentations and speaking events! 😊 I’m adding a limited number of school visits back into my yearly calendar, so please hit them up with inquiries. International too! Yay!! authorsunbound.com/raina-telgemei…

Here’s Trung with a little masterclass on the semiotics of comics.
A comic is not strictly a sequence of drawings. Comics are hand-written books. The pictures also constitute the “writing” part. This is most evident in Sunday strip comics. The drawings are not depictive; they’re semiotic. All cartoons are. And they’re dynamically negotiated.
I think most of us know writing and visual art are differently challenging. And I cannot stress enough that comics are not Those Two Things Together, it’s literally a weird third thing!
Prunella and the Cursed Skull Ring, my newest kids fantasy graphic novel is out now! Cute meets macabre in this Ghibli-like fairytale about finding your people, even if they aren’t the same as you :)
