Elementary Middle School Graphic Novel Comic

When 4th graders come to me in the school library and want something funny, I am glad to suggest the Dragonbreath series by Ursula Vernon. It’s a fun illustrated novel, with enough of a feel of a comic book to lighten anyone’s mood. Best of all, Ursula Vernon really gets what makes kids laugh – gross slime, creepy dark caves, and best friends who need rescuing from all sorts of situations. This is sure to please kids who want humor, comics and a dash of adventure.

Ursula Vernon does a terrific job of making kids laugh and squirm at the gross, stinky descriptions, and the friends’ snarky banter. But Vernon also works fun science into the mix. I know a lot of kids will think it’s pretty cool that Steve is out in the jungle studying bats, trying to find new species.
