•	Draw Me Dysfunctional: Graphic Novel Memoirs (7 titles) Dysfunctional families, dysfunctional childhoods, dysfunctional lives: We’ve all got them. Some more than others, true, but everyone’s got a story. Whether it’s tales of surviving adolescence or illness, stories about parents or siblings, the trials and tribulations of love or war, autobiographies and memoirs have been staples of storytelling for hundreds of years. But times they changing. One of the more recent and innovative ways to share the twisted stories of our pasts is not just to write them, but to draw them as well. Memoirs told in the comic strip/ graphic style format are becoming more popular and more successful as savvy authors and readers explore unconventional ways to write and read books. And in the case of graphic novels, unconventional also means artistic, funny, and wildly creative, and full of color and life. Contributed by KaliO

•	Watch A Book: Masterpiece Theatre (8 titles) The classics can be daunting. Charles Dickens, Charlotte Brontë, Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy: these are big names and they wrote big books a long, long time ago. We were made to read a few of them in school and we’ve avoided them ever since. But still, they must be classics for a reason. There must be a compelling story there somewhere hidden under all that old-fashioned language. And indeed there is—all the drama, comedy, mystery, and romance that you could wish for. One of the surest ways to tap into the classics is to watch the film adaptation. Not the Hollywood version, mind you, which tends to condense and edit until the book and the movie are little more than distant cousins. What you want are the Masterpiece Theatre movie versions. They air on public television as miniseries, hours-long adaptations that are meant to be viewed over several weeks. This means that very little is left out of the original book—nearly every character is on screen and much of the dialogue is taken straight from the book. Viewers have the luxury of becoming as immersed in the world of the film as readers who spend days or weeks with the book versions. Masterpiece Theatre’s classic reinterpretations are dramatic, stirring, suspenseful, passionate, and true to the voice of their original author. Once you watch a book on TV, it becomes that much easier to access the paper and ink classic it’s based on. Contributed by KaliO

•	Harry Potter's BFFs (8 titles) Oh, Harry Potter, the famous orphan who’s also a wizard, a regular kid who becomes part of a fantastic world of magic and mayhem. Through seven suspenseful books and seven wonder-filled years at Hogwarts School, Harry transforms from an overwhelmed, awestruck little boy into a powerful and thoughtful young man. He has to make some extraordinary choices concerning his life, his friends’ lives, and the fate of the world, but he’s guided by an unforgettable cast of characters: schoolmates Ron and Hermione; wise and occasionally wacky Professor Dumbledore; magical friends Hagrid, Hedwig, and Sirius; magical foes Snape, Malfoy, and even Lord Voldemort, who’s a truly worthwhile villain if there ever was one. And then there’s all the pure magical fun of playing Quidditch, shopping in Diagon Alley, or taking a Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson. We could go on and on with unfulfilled prophecies, invisibility cloaks, clueless Muggles, scars that sense evil, and every little interwoven, imaginative detail that makes the world of Harry Potter so unique and so loved. Author J.K. Rowling is a world-renowned celebrity and the Harry Potter series has changed the history of children’s literature and the publishing industry. That’s a tough act to follow. But there are authors out there who’ve been able to build on the momentum of Harry Potter without merely copying the poor-kid-in-a-fantasy-world plot. These books owe a debt to Harry, but they’ve all struck out in new and original directions. The world doesn’t just need more Harry Potters, after all—just more wildly creative books about young heroes on fantastic and challenging adventures. And now more than ever, children’s authors are ready to deliver. Contributed by KaliO
