[ISLMA-Share] Boys' middle school graphic novels?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Thank you all for the great suggestions. We had *Amulet, Bone, & Brody's
Ghost* series that appeal to boys as well as *Brave*, but these other
titles will definitely become part of our growing graphic novel
collection. *Thank
you*!!!
:) Kathy
