Biographies for Teens in Graphic novel Format

6/11/2014

0 Comments

 
Picture
The graphic novel format is certainly taking hold and reaching out to various curricular content areas. These biographies actually look appealing and have good reviews. This one called Shackleton: Antarctic Odyssey may well reach some struggling high school readers (gr. 8-12). The same author has another on Lewis and Clark, rated for even younger readers (gr 7-12).

Booklist has half a dozen more biographies listed here for middle school and high school readers by a variety of well known author/illustrators, such as Patricia and Frederick McKissack or Jim Ottaviani. Historical figures range from Houdini to Nat Love, and the trio of primate specialists Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Biruté Galdikas.  Check them out!                                                               Katie

ps. You might also want to look over Booklist's Top 10 Biographies for Youth, in 'standard' format. Quite a variety from K to gr. 12!

I'm sure you don't have to be signed up with Junior Library Guild to take advantage of this list of new biographies in an SLJ article titled People Who Left Their Mark Picture Book Biographies. Beautiful illustrations add so much to any book but can make a biography a delight to read.
Check them out!                   Katie
