She's been enjoying Rapunzel's Revenge and the graphic novel version of Kiki's Delivery Service. Thanks for all this info. I’m definitely going to get Mouse Guard for my daughter.

Our first ones were on beowulf and Troy, which made me very happy as we were covering ancient History. My boys love, love spiderman..I wish they would draw the girls a little bit more modestly..sigh. I am really glad to hear that the market for children's graphic books is getting some attention!

I have two concepts in particular that I've been working up these past two years, but as with all my works-in-progress, time is the hindering factor. It's just not a season of intense fiction writing right now (unlike 1998-2004 when I delivered 8 novels and 4 babies!) but I'm working steadily and slowly. Have a prose novel to finish first, and then the hard decision comes. Which of two long-backburnered middle-grade novels, a YA novel, and two graphic novel concepts to tackle first?

Jeff Smith was on the second kids' graphic novels panel, which I hope to write a little about over the weekend. I had to leave that panel fairly early on but I can at least share the author/illustrator/book title info and we'll all have a new stack of titles to explore. Sara, my kids love the Bone books too.
