As the author of the web comic Box O' Robotics, I am always on the look out for the next best selling graphic novel, classic comics, web comics and top market Japanese manga. Sometimes I'll spend a few hours in the bookstore browsing the shelves and studying what makes this type of literature so great on the market. Today I'm going to be recommending graphic novels and web comics that your tweens and teens will love, and talk about how I'm going to be assisting the upcoming Middle Grade Mastery Course for the Children's Book Academy. TWEEN & TEEN GRAPHIC NOVEL RECOMMENDATIONS:
TWEEN & TEEN WEB COMICS:
MEET WITH ME AT THE MIDDLE GRADE MASTERY COURSE: This year I will be assisting the CBA with its upcoming Middle Grade Mastery Course. This course has so much to offer you. You'll not only learn the basics of how to write the perfect middle grade novel, but you'll also learn about the inside scoop of what makes middle grade novels, and graphic novels stand out in the market. There are also many offers and golden ticket opportunities that only the CBA can offer you, such as being taught by agents and editors and submitting your work to them at the end of the course.
What are some of your favorite tween and teen graphic novels? I'd love to hear your recommendations!

Great round-up, Kat! Graphic novels are HUGE and lots of parents are on the hunt for good ones. I know you pointed me in the right direction for my kiddo so I'm sure these are great, too :)

Graphic novels are not an area I'm up on, so this was most helpful, Katya. Thank you! I'm definitely checking out your Box O'Robotics. The theme is similar to a chapter book I want to get back too. So glad you're here with the Blogateers.

I think someone stole your link to "read B.O.R.on my website!"

Tweens love exploring. Most of the time, they love following what's the trend because they always want to be "in" to what's new. Graphic novel is a thing nowadays because of its visual impact for the audience. Of course, it's so fun to read when you have your reference for it. You don't need to imagine anymore because it's the author's job to provide you the visualization you need for the story.
