hi, hi, girlie! my goodness, it's funny that you're talking about graphic novels. i wonder if you would be interested in cecil castellucci's "plain janes"? i bought it for my niece, who's a notorious nonreader (sad but true!) and she loved it! she wasn't happy with the ending, but i was so happy that she had an actual OPINION on it because she's all into being popular and nothing else matters, even, alas, her academics. :( anyway!

oh! and ms. castellucci has a livejournal. it's
