I bought this book for my 7th grader and ended up ordering one for me too! What a treat to have a talent like Barbara Slate guiding our creative musings. Lots of “Gee, why didn’t I think of that” moments in this insightful and inspiring book. Follow the trail markers and spend your energy letting your imagination soar, you will be surprised at the results.
A great guide for not only those interested in authoring a graphic novel but for those who pursue other forms of creative writing as well. I recommend it for kids and adults and would happily give it more than 5 stars if there were room for them all on the form!

Barbara Slate’s “You Can Do a Graphic Novel” is a visual treat–with rich, vibrant colors that span across the double page spread. It is a jewel of a book that deserves to be read and re-read and enjoyed as a work of art. Buy the book, not the Kindle version, which will limit you to a single screen page in black and white.
