There's also a very good graphic novel version of A Wrinkle in Time, by Hope Larson. If he likes insects, Clan Apis and Last of the Sandwalkers, by Jay Hosler. If he likes Greek Mythology, there's also a series about the Greek gods that's very good by George O'Conner. And here's a link to Ben's blog, wherein a 16 year old boy tells it like it is--http://agoblinblog.tumblr.com/Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11835101886202235868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-24397820808189924902016-12-07T17:14:54.109-05:002016-12-07T17:14:54.109-05:00PS I forgot to say, your lists are fascinating.PS I forgot to say, your lists are fascinating.Tighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786331256157193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-74556614410847508392016-12-07T17:12:59.479-05:002016-12-07T17:12:59.479-05:00Hi Charlotte, I'd love to hear suggestions for...Hi Charlotte, I'd love to hear suggestions for graphic novels for slightly younger boys - maybe you and your son could help me pick something for my 13-year-old. He's not a fluent or sophisticated reader, but very drawn by graphic novels. I only know things like Maus or Persepolis, and things like Kick-Ass, and Marvel.<br />Tighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04786331256157193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-76320057474131109672016-12-07T07:48:34.673-05:002016-12-07T07:48:34.673-05:00I don't know any of these.

Older daughter asked for a Shel Silverstein poetry book, which just goes to prove that I was not their only source of book recommendations in middle school!

I'm totally going by my own tastes here.
