Michelle, Many of the titles that are on your list are not appropriate for middle school students, especially 6th graders. Several titles on this list are really adult titles that could be used in many high school LMCs, if previewed first. Unfortunately, many vendors are not familiar with graphic novels and unknowingly recommend titles that are not age-appropriate. With this in mind, I would strongly recommend that you preview the following titles before adding them to your collection: To The Heart Of The Storm: Eisner, Will The Tragical Comedy Or Comical Tragedy Of Mr. Punch: A Romance: = Gaiman, Neil (both of these titles are designated by the publisher as intended for a Mature Audience) Violent Cases: Words & Pictures: Gaiman, Neil Watchmen: Moore, Alan Moore Jack the Ripper: a journal of the Whitechapel murders, 1888-1889: = Geary, Rick Jar Of Fools: Lutes, Jason (these four titles are for older teens and have mature content) Philip Crawford, Librarian Helen Boutin Professional Library San Francisco Unified School District 2550 - 25th Ave. Room 3 San Francisco, CA 94116 Email: pcrawfo1@muse.sfusd.edu PH: (415) 759-2985 FAX: (415) 759-2831 Resource Specialist: Young Adult Literature and Graphic Novels =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-==-= All postings to LM_NET are protected under copyright law.
