Stylish and colorful this readable introduction to writing ones own graphic novel will be a hit with the comic book crowd.  Written for ages 10-12, it could certainly engage and prove very useful to the junior high or high school student.  Student writers will receive oodles of excellent advice on various topics, such as, setting the scene, characters and character building, building suspense, etc.  Of particular interest to me was the How to Use this Book intro which visually depicts in a linear fashion the writing process.  This book also includes a glossary, a “Further Information” section which includes websites and graphic novel titles and an index.
