Graphic novels have evolved from the comic violence of CRASH! BANG! POW! to a medium that tackles challenging subjects with sensitivity and emotion. Conducted by two school library staff, this session will introduce and explore YA graphic novels that examine contemporary and challenging issues of discrimination, immigration, family loss, addiction, mental health, and more.
