I would also recommend This One Summer It's one of my favorites.

And another one by Jillian Tamaki is SuperMutant Magic Academy which is one of my all time favorite books. Period. It's super funny and quirky.

Oh man, I love The Woods (and Tynion). I need to get my hands on the third volume.

• Great Graphic Novels for Teens list from the ALA's Young Adult Library Services Association. They put out a rec list every year.
• Graphic Novels Lib Guide created by Sophia Brewer.
• Also, this is a little messy, but Brewer also has a post on collection development for graphic novels, which has some great links to mailing lists, etc.

love love love Roller Girl. I actually heard about it after Stephen Thompson recommended it on Pop Culture Happy Hour after reading it with his daughter.

I'm Kristen from New York. I'm a full-time M.S.I.S. student and a part-time Graduate Assistant at one of my university's three academic libraries. I handle reference services, marketing, IR deposits, and a plethora of other tasks assigned to me. Within the last three years I really got into reading graphic novels regularly thanks to a friend. However, my relationship with the format started early as my sister actually taught me how to read with Archies that I would buy with my allowance when I was 5. The last good book I read was Giant Days, Vol. 2 by John Allison.
