Credit: Illustration by Francesca Spatola; Amazon (2) From memoirs to reimagined classics, these stunning graphic novels for teens and tweens are a great way to introduce a new genre to kids. Credit: Square Fish "I couldn't wait for my daughter to fall in love with A Wrinkle in Time, by Madeleine L'Engle (ages 10 to 14), just as I had as a kid. I handed Lucy the book when she was 8. `Boring,' she sniffed. I tried again when she was 9, and 10, and 11. Nothing worked until I discovered Hope Larson's graphic novelization of the book. Finally, my daughter was enraptured. She finished the graphic novel and couldn't get to the actual book fast enough." --Jennifer Weiner, author of the Littlest Bigfoot series Advertisement Advertisement Credit: Marvel by G. Willow Wilson and Adrian Alphona In this graphic novel that shatters stereotypes, a girl from a Pakistani Muslim family inherits the identity of a famous superhero. (Ages 13+) Credit: First Second by Vera Brosgol So much more than a ghost story, this graphic novel (with a blue, white, black, and grey color palette) has a rich, emotional plot and extraordinary character development. (Ages 12+) Advertisement Credit: BOOM! Box by Noelle Stevenson and others This graphic novel series has so much going for it: a spunky group of summer camp bunkmates, fast-paced plots, and fun art. (Ages 9+) Credit: Pantheon by Marjane Satrapi In this stunning graphic novel memoir, the author portrays what it's like to grow up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution. (Ages 13+) The New York Times bestseller list for the week of October 4 is out, and of the 20 graphic novel bestsellers, 14 were written by women. One author, Raina Telgemeier, holds half the spots on the paperback graphic books list! If anything is absolutely certain, it's that women are winning comics this week.Here are the details. On the hardcover list we have:Step Aside, Pops by Kate Beaton at #1;Can't We Talk about Something More Pleasant? by Roz Chast at #3;The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage by Sydney Padua at #5;Baba Yaga's Assistant by Marika McCoola and Emily Carroll at #6;Ann Tenna by Marisa Acocella Marchetto at #7;and In Search of Lost Time: Swann's Way by Marcel Proust, adapted and illustrated by St?phane Heuet at #9.And the paperback list looks something like this:Drama by Raina Telgemeier at #2;Fun Home by Alison Bechdel at #4;Smile by Raina Telgemeier at #5;Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi at #6;Sisters by Raina Telgemeier at #7;The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix: Kristy's Great Idea by Ann M. Martin and Raina Telgemeier at #8;The Baby-Sitters Club Graphix: The Truth about Stacey by Ann M. Martin and Raina Telgemeier at #9;and Sunny Side Up by Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm at #10.It's important to note that Kate Beaton's Step Aside, Pops ended Batman: The Killing Joke's 12-week reign by taking the #1 spot with its debut.

Image: teenytinyhorses/Instagram Egyptians had their hieroglyphics, and prehistoric humans, their cave drawings. Although actual written words don't appear often in these contexts, the symbols and drawings held great meaning to the people living in those times. People really needed pictures to communicate ideas and stories.As human language continued to advance, words, and thus reading, was mostly for scholars and elites. A few hundred years ago, though, mechanization of labor processes helped free up a bit of time for even the working classes, who until then had often used pictures to share ideas in printed media. For instance, political cartoons, in which pictures predominated over words, were featured in newspapers and almanacs used illustrations to help viewers to quickly get the gist of an idea.In 1837, Swiss artist and writer Rodolphe Topffer published an English version of "The Adventures of Mr. Obadiah Oldbuck," which is often considered one of the first comics ever created. Oldbuck featured some of the hallmarks that define comics, such as a compelling synergy of text and cartoon pictures, as well as panel borders. These elements helped move the narrative forward.About 100 years later, comics exploded in popularity, especially in North America. From the late 1930s to the 1950s, comic books took on their familiar format, including their short length, the introduction of the superhero paradigm, and characters such as Superman and Batman, who would become lasting worldwide celebrities.World War II, in particular, helped fuel the popularity of comics, especially among American military men. Comics provided them with cheap entertainment abroad, and stereotyped icons such as Superman, who always, always triumphed over evil, gave them a morale boost, too.As WWII drew to a close, the black-and-white, goodversus-evil type of superhero comics lost some of their luster and popularity. To replace those tired themes, publishers began releasing comics with other subjects, such as horror, crime, Western and science fiction.The number of pages contained in comics, though, remained fairly static until 1950. It was then that St. John Publications unveiled a 128-page comic called "It Rhymes with Lust," which the company billed as a full-length picture novel. This title was a purposeful attempt by the author, Arnold Drake, and the illustrator, Leslie Waller, to tie sophisticated writing with equally refined drawn art. It was, in short, one of the first deliberate attempts to make a graphic novel."It Rhymes with Lust" was very successful, but it didn't immediately lead to a surge of graphic novels, in part because it arrived at a time of conflict and tumult in the industry. As you'll discover on the next page, comics and picture novels were about to become scorned and demonized by both literary snobs and federal authorities.Page 2In a world where sex, violence, and murder rule the television airwaves, it's hard to imagine that classic books such as Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath were ever banned for objectionable content. Read on to find out why the following seemingly innocent tales have been banned in various locales.Ray Bradbury reportedly wrote this novel in the basement of the UCLA library -- on a pay-by-the-hour typewriter. Ironically, the story examines censorship, but unbeknownst to Bradbury, his publisher released a censored edition in 1967, nixing all profanity so the book would be safe for distribution in schools. A school in Mississippi banned the book in 1999 for the use of the very words Bradbury insisted be put back into the book when it was reprinted.Who wants to look for Waldo when there are so many more interesting things to see in the pages of these colorful, oversized children's books? Waldo-mania swept the country in the mid-1990s, but schools in Michigan and New York wiped out Waldo because "on some of the pages there are dirty things." These "dirty things" included a topless lady on the beach. It's just a hunch, but if you can find her, Waldo's probably not far away. . . .As recently as 1987, a school district in Anchorage, Alaska, went straight to the source of their problem and banned the whole darned dictionary. They didn't approve of the inclusion of certain slang usage for words like bed and knockers.Those Grimm boys sure knew how to push the envelope. Most of the fairy tales we learned as kids are watered-down versions of classic Grimm stories such as Little Red Riding Hood and Hansel and Gretel. In the original works, however, there was more blood and fewer happy endings. Concerned parents have been contesting the literary merit -- and age-appropriateness -- of the Grimm Brothers' work since it was first published in the early 1800s.On the next page, you'll find the continuation of our list of surprising banned books.You're probably thinking, "I can see why this book might not be appropriate for youngsters, what with the baffling subject matter -- how do you explain anti-Semitism and the Holocaust to anyone, much less a sixth-grader?" Unfortunately, that's not why a school in Alabama banned this book. Their reasoning? They just felt it was "a real downer."Wizards, magic spells, ghosts, and clever kids who outsmart adults -- J. K. Rowling's dizzyingly popular series about a young magician with funny glasses is a treasure trove of "questionable content" for a surprising number of parents and teachers around the world.No one can deny that Tom Sawyer is a bit of a troublemaker, and you could say the book somewhat glorifies running away from home, but was it really bad enough to ban? Libraries in New York and Colorado banned Mark Twain's adventurous tale soon after the book came out, claiming Tom Sawyer was a protagonist of "questionable character." Tom would probably approve of the controversy.Sixties political activist Abbie Hoffman was cheeky as usual when naming his guide to governmental overthrow. The book was banned in Canada, and many stores in the United States refused to carry it for fear the title would prompt customers to shoplift. Had they carried the book, it would've been banned for other reasons -- Hoffman describes how to make a pipe bomb, steal credit cards, and grow marijuana.Lots of authors tackle touchy topics such as divorce, racism, and death. Judy Blume did, too, only the novels she wrote were for young adults. Blume has always felt the issues that kids deal with on a daily basis are the ones they want to read about. When she published Forever in 1975, parents and teachers everywhere were steaming mad about the story of a girl and her boyfriend who decide to have premarital sex. The book is still being challenged in school libraries today.CONTRIBUTING WRITERS:Helen Davies, Marjorie Dorfman, Mary Fons, Deborah Hawkins, Martin Hintz, Linnea Lundgren, David Priess, Julia Clark Robinson, Paul Seaburn, Heidi Stevens, and Steve Theunissen
