Realistic or Historical Fiction
Graphic Novel, Chapter Book
I had never read a graphic novel before. I was a little uncertain about them as a whole and wasn’t sure how I would implement them into my classroom. This particular graphic novel follows the case of Nancy Drew, girl detective, who when visiting a new bio-dome eco-park facility discovers new mysteries unfolding. She follows the clues and sees bio-domes destroyed by fictitious creatures from those areas of the world, such as the Sasquatch. In the end, she solves the mystery and the bio-domes are reconstructed so that visitors can again participate in the great advances in science. After I read this novel, my entire opinion changed. Students who struggle with reading can follow the pictures to help them clarify what is being discussed in the written dialogue. I think that these are a very important type of book to have in one’s library, especially with students who are struggling but don’t want it to be known. I think this would be a great book to have in a classroom library for checkout by students.
