Quick Pick: Queen of the World!

I just checked out from the libray and read Babymouse: Queen of the World! by brother-sister team Jennifer L. Holm and Matthew Holm. It's a graphic novel, something I rarely read (I've only read two true graphic novels besides this one, and several hybrids).

The book was adorable, fun, and Babymouse is totally my kinda gal. From her huge imagination to her love of books (and dislike of books without proper endings) to her spunk and style, she's my newest fictional pal. I can't wait to read the rest in the series.

Vist the official Babymouse website.

I've never read a single graphic novel. Now that I know more about one I probably should....
Or should I start out with a hybrid?

I started with a hybrid, but I don't know that that's the best way. For hybrids, try Travels of Thelonious and Abadazad: Road to Inconceivable (although beware the latter's cliff hanging ending!). I liked Travels better. Good graphic novels would be To Dance, and of course Babymouse.

I can't say I would want a steady diet of graphic novels. Once in a while they're fun, though!

Thanks, I'll definitely see if I can find those hybrids you mentioned.
Babymouse plus the one you mentioned, To Dance, sound good!
