My experience here is that if I can find "1" topic and get them hooked on
that book, they want to read ALL of them.=0D

They are old, but the "Adventures of Tin Tin" are graphic novels with a
mystery twist.=0D

Art Spiegelman has a "Little Lit's" series as well.  These are also older
and may not really interest your readers.=0D

The Tin Tin series by Herge, the Little Lit series by Speigleman and the
Bone series by I forget are safe for elementary.=0D
