Graphic Versions of Teen Favorites
There are a lot of people in this world who like to read graphic novels (aka comic books), and the format has proven to be very helpful to those who think visually and thus have trouble reading entire pages of text. HCL has just purchased a bunch of new graphic novels to supplement and expand our collection. We've gotten some classics of the genre, like Maus (a retelling of the WWII concentration camp experience with mice standing in for the Jews and cats as Nazis) and The Watchmen (a superhero book which 
was recently released as a movie). We've also just gotten several graphic novel versions of series books that are already popular among teen readers. Artemis Fowl, Alex Rider, and Maximum Ride fall into this category. Interestingly, several of these seem to employ classic manga style to tell their stories, which should make for a good mix of genres.
