Disasters in History The epic disasters that forever transformed societies and industries are significant in making history. Every disaster leaves an indelible mark on history. In the graphic novel Disasters in History, we have selected eight that have left their mark on humanity. Some are gruesome accounts that emphasize the brokenness of this world. Others show the resilience of humankind, and some even sparked necessary social change. Disasters in History make these gripping stories of important historical disasters accessible to even the most reluctant readers. Includes are the events of The Apollo 13 Mission The Attack on Pearl Harbor The Challenger Explosion The Donner Party The Great Chicago Fire of 1871 The Hindenburg Disaster Shackleton and the Lost Antarctic Expedition The Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire. About Graphic Novels: Experienced parents know that the amount of reading their child does will directly and positively impact his reading fluency and vocabulary development. That is why graphic novels, once relegated to the category of lowbrow reading, have experienced a surge in popularity. You may think that the graphic novel is primarily for mainstream American children who are peppered by snack-size visual and audio bombardment. If you desire that your children slow down and feast on the written word, you may cringe at the idea of a graphic novel version of Moby Dick. But before you issue a home-wide ban on these books, consider the following. If you have a reluctant or beginning reader, your first concern should be fluidity and competency. You will find that the graphic novel illustrations draw your child in even as the vocabulary becomes more complex. Then, because the graphics are so attention-grabbing, children often find themselves reading for pleasure. If your reluctant reader is an older child, your primary concern may be making sure that he is culturally savvy. With graphic novels, vocabulary is introduced via contextual clues, making great literature accessible to more children. The interesting pictures and snappy dialogue (with little-to-no narration to bog the reader down) will encourage independent reading and learning. As the child's competence and confidence grow, his joy in literacy will increase. Even if your older child is a competent reader, he will enjoy taking a break from the verbally intense books characteristic of higher-level learning. A 2006 study found that the amount of reading children did for fun decreased from the time they were eight through their teen years. Graphic books can re-engage them in the delights of reading for leisure and learning. Some children may never read for pleasure. But most children, from the reluctant, faltering reader to the brilliant but easily bored adolescent will find graphic novels intriguing.

Amazing World War II Stories

Irena Book One: Wartime Ghetto Is a clear and well-informed understanding of the horrors of the Holocaust prevention against having it happen again? Researchers believe so, and thus we offer Irena: Wartime Ghetto with the hope that teens will become a vigilant resistance to any attempt of genocide in our world. Irena Sendlerowa, a young, non-Jewish humanitarian worker, joined the resistance and saved over 2,500 children from the Nazi-occupied Warsaw ghetto. This disease-ridden ghetto was a place of poverty and stark desperation. Carefully researched, this graphic novel's artwork has an innocence that is in stark contrast to this very dark subject matter. Irena: Wartime Ghetto exposes the horrors of the situation and the desperate measures, including alcohol, used by Irena to keep the children silent during the escapes. Note to parents: although some language and mature topics are briefly mentioned, the widespread evil revealed makes this title best for older readers. A teen who is mature enough to read through the profound atrocities of the time is unlikely to be shocked by any language or specific content.

The Faithful Spy

Lost Trail: Nine Days Alone in the Wilderness In 1939 the entire nation anxiously watched as a parent's nightmare unfolded. Twelve-year-old Donn Fendler was hiking Maine's highest mountain, mile-high Katahdin, when he became separated from his family. As a dark storm moved in, Donn became even more disoriented. He emerged nine long days later, grossly malnourished, bare feet cut to shreds, and with scarcely a stitch of clothing intact but alive. Lost Trail: Nine Days Alone in the Wilderness is the true story of that perilous journey, meticulously retold in a graphic novel. Donn's gripping story was made famous 70 years ago by the best-selling book, Lost on a Mountain in Maine. For the first time, Donn tells the story of survival and rescue from his own perspective in this skillfully illustrated graphic novel, Lost Trail. Children will be enthralled to read the day-by-day account of how a 12-year-old Boy Scout from a New York City suburb survived cold, hunger, bears, a tumble into an icy river, and hallucinations. And they will cheer when they read of how Donn's rescue was celebrated with a huge parade and an opportunity to meet the President of the United States. As a graphic novel, Lost Trail introduces younger and more reluctant readers to a true story that has captivated children for more than 70 years.

Max Axiom: The Terrific Tale of Television Technology

The Wright Brothers and the Airplane This story recalls these important inventors and their invention in dramatic, graphic novel format. Wilbur and Orville Wright were interested in science and inventions from a young age. As adults, they experimented with a flying machine and tested different wing surfaces, curves, and angles. The result was the first flying powered aircraft! About Graphic Novels: Experienced parents know that the amount of reading their child does will have a direct and positive impact on his reading fluency and vocabulary development. That is why graphic novels - which we used to refer to as comic books - though once relegated to the category of lowbrow reading, are now experiencing a surge in popularity. You may think that the comic book medium is primarily for mainstream American children who are peppered by snack-size visual and audio bombardment. If you desire that your children slow down and feast on the written word, then you may cringe at the idea of a graphic novel version of Moby Dick. But before you issue a home-wide ban on these books, consider the following. If you have a reluctant or beginning reader, your first concern should be for fluidity and competency. You will find that the graphic novel's illustrations draw your child in even as the vocabulary becomes more complex. Then, because the graphics are so attention-grabbing, children often find themselves reading for pleasure. If your reluctant reader is an older child, your main concern may be making sure that he is culturally savvy. With graphic novels, vocabulary is introduced via contextual clues, making great literature accessible to more children. The interesting pictures and snappy dialogue, with little-to-no narration to bog the reader down, will encourage independent reading and learning. As the child's competence and confidence grow, so will his joy of literacy. Even if your older child is a competent reader, he will enjoy taking a break from the verbally intense books characteristic of higher-level learning to enjoy a more visual form of storytelling. A 2006 study found that the amount of reading children did for fun decreased from the time they were eight through the teen years. Graphic books can re-engage them in the delights of reading for leisure as well as for learning. There are children who may never read for pleasure; God just might have wired them differently. But most children, from the reluctant, faltering reader to the brilliant but easily bored adolescent, will find graphic novels intriguing.

Readers will also learn about the generous spirit of Jonas Salk, as he did all he could to make sure this life-saving vaccine was available to as many people as possible. About Graphic Novels: Experienced parents know that the amount of reading their child does will have a direct and positive impact on his reading fluency and vocabulary development. That is why graphic novels - which we used to refer to as comic books - though once relegated to the category of lowbrow reading, are now experiencing a surge in popularity. You may think that the comic book medium is primarily for mainstream American children who are peppered by snack-size visual and audio bombardment. If you desire that your children slow down and feast on the written word, then you may cringe at the idea of a graphic novel version of Moby Dick. But before you issue a home-wide ban on these books, consider the following. If you have a reluctant or beginning reader, your first concern should be for fluidity and competency. You will find that the graphic novel's illustrations draw your child in even as the vocabulary becomes more complex. Then, because the graphics are so attention-grabbing, children often find themselves reading for pleasure. If your reluctant reader is an older child, your main concern may be making sure that he is culturally savvy. With graphic novels, vocabulary is introduced via contextual clues, making great literature accessible to more children. The interesting pictures and snappy dialogue, with little-to-no narration to bog the reader down, will encourage independent reading and learning. As the child's competence and confidence grow, so will his joy of literacy. Even if your older child is a competent reader, he will enjoy taking a break from the verbally intense books characteristic of higher-level learning to enjoy a more visual form of storytelling. A 2006 study found that the amount of reading children did for fun decreased from the time they were eight through the teen years. Graphic books can re-engage them in the delights of reading for leisure as well as for learning. There are children who may never read for pleasure; God just might have wired them differently.

Jonas Salk and the Polio Vaccine

Graphic Shakespeare On the fence over the need to study Shakespeare? Shakespeare's plays are pictures of humanity both at its very worst and its very best, delving into issues of romance, deceit, tragedy, and revenge. And then there is the language - difficult for an adult to understand, let alone a child. But Shakespeare is a literary icon; references to his works are everywhere, from advertising to sermons. We do our children a disservice if we ignore his impact. Graphic Shakespeare is the more accessible, sanitized way to expose your child to 4 of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies and 1 of his most popular comedies. Full-color artwork brings the scenes to life while speech bubbles present key excerpts from Shakespeare's original dialogue. Graphic Shakespeare adds captions in modern English to make the stories easier to follow. A glossary at the foot of each page helps with any challenging vocabulary. Suppose you have a child who groans at the thought of reading Shakespeare. In that case, you may find a whole different attitude when you present your child with these illustrated versions of Shakespeare's works. ﻿While these plays are condensed, Graphic Shakespeare has retained enough key phrases and quotations from the originals that your child will have more than a nodding acquaintance with each celebrated play. The five plays include: Hamlet, Macbeth, Julius Caesar, Romeo and Juliet, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

A Family Secret A Family Secret provides a graphic novel overview of WWII from a "safe" Dutch girl's perspective as she relates the tale of her Jewish friend who suffered through the terror of the Holocaust. Characters in the book represent a wide diversity in respect to decency – from the innocent to the heroic resistance fighters, from the passive bystanders to the brutal Nazis. Firmly rooted in history and delivering accurate facts along a precise timeline, A Family Secret does a remarkable job of communicating some of the most perplexing and disturbing events in Dutch history. The story and characters from A Family Secret are intertwined and expanded upon in The Search. From the Publisher:While searching his grandmother's attic for likely items to sell at a yard sale, Jeroen finds a photo album that brings back hard memories for his grandmother, Helena. Helena tells Jeroen for the first time about her experiences during the German occupation of the Netherlands during the Second World War, and mourns the loss of her Jewish best friend, Esther. Helena believes that her own father, a policeman and Nazi sympathizer, delivered Esther to the Nazis and that she died in a concentration camp. But after hearing her story, Jeroen makes a discovery and Helena realizes that her father kept an important secret from her.

A Family Secret

The Search In this graphic novel about the Holocaust, a Jewish grandmother recounts to her grandson how she escaped from the Nazis and survived. With her grandson's help, she plunges into a search to discover what happened to the rest of her family during their last months at Auschwitz. The Search is a compilation of many stories of Jewish families who experienced the horror of the Holocaust. While the illustrations are not explicit, the narration is fairly specific about the horrors the characters experience. Please note: There is an instance of language on page 25 of The Search. While it will not be new to many middle-school students, parents with young readers may want to hit it with a touch of white-out. From the Publisher:Esther remembers her own experience of the Holocaust as a Jewish girl living in Amsterdam, and recounts to her grandson Daniel and his friend Jeroen how she escaped from the Nazis and survived by going into hiding in the countryside. Her parents were not so lucky. Esther knows they were sent to a concentration camp and died there, and with Daniel's help she embarks on a search to discover what happened to them during the last months of their lives. After tracking down an old friend who now lives in Israel, Esther finally learns the shocking story of how her parents met their fates at Auschwitz.

Even if your older child is a competent reader, he will enjoy taking a break from the verbally intense books characteristic of higher-level learning to enjoy a more visual form of storytelling. A 2006 study found that the amount of reading children did for fun decreased from the time they were eight through the teen years. Graphic books can re-engage them in the delights of reading for leisure as well as for learning. There are children who may never read for pleasure; God just might have wired them differently. But most children, from the reluctant, faltering reader to the brilliant but easily bored adolescent, will find graphic novels intriguing.

”The graphic novel genre may not be my favorite, but it’s such a giant lure to my children – and has been for so long – that I have no desire to banish it or condemn it. I’d rather find a way to get great versions in their hands.”

”Giving thoughts and feelings to the characters who "experience" the war brings the stories to life, and I believe help younger children better understand how wars affect people, bringing much empathy and understanding to a generation who has not experienced such hardship as of yet. ”

The Search and A Family Secret Graphic Novels

The United States Constitution - A Graphic Adaptation Pull this book from your box and watch a smile cross your teen’s face. He knows he needs to study the United States Constitution; he just never expected to enjoy it! The writer of The United States Constitution - A Graphic Adaptation undertakes the daunting task of going through the entire Constitution, article by article, amendment by amendment, explaining the meaning and implications of each - in teen-friendly graphic format. A fine introduction to United States legal history, The United States Constitution - A Graphic Adaptation explores the historical context in which various elements of the Constitution originated. It also includes the dark side of constitutional history. Controversies are put in historical context. Nearly every major case that the Supreme Court has ruled on is explored, including cases where it has reversed itself. Even cases that are less popular in Christian circles. Though the text of the Constitution itself is only partly quoted, the substance and explanations remain true to the text. With so many loved ones, past, present and future, asked to defend this historically resilient document, fully understanding the United States Constitution is imperative. A Caveat Note: The United States Constitution – A Graphic Adaptation discusses even the most controversial of amendments and Supreme Court decisions, including, among others, Roe vs. Wade. While it states that others disagree with the Court’s decision and presents the issue respectfully, it represents the current U.S. Constitution without criticism. Because of this, please discuss with your teen the statements and assumptions of the book, including worldviews. Also, The United States Constitution – A Graphic Adaptation pulls examples from real life to illustrate the principles of the Constitution. So a wide range of topics – polygamy, marijuana, rape, racism, and so on – make passing cameo appearances. Although this book wouldn’t be appropriate for very young readers, we feel that most high school students will be ready to benefit from it. Provided you are willing to discuss and reason through the issues together. If you would like to look at the especially concerning pages before handing the book off to your child, here are the page numbers you will want to look at and why: Pages 9-10 delve into worldview questions of God’s preordaining. Page 38 references evolution. Page 116 discusses birth control, Planned Parenthood, abortion, and homosexuality. From the Publisher:Our leaders swear to uphold it, our military to defend it. It is the blueprint for the shape and function of government itself and what defines Americans as Americans. But how many of us truly know our Constitution?The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation uses the art of illustrated storytelling to breathe life into our nation's cornerstone principles. Simply put, it is the most enjoyable and groundbreaking way to read the governing document of the United States. Spirited and visually witty, it roves article by article, amendment by amendment, to get at the meaning, background, and enduring relevance of the law of the land. What revolutionary ideas made the Constitution's authors dare to cast off centuries of rule by kings and queens? Why do we have an electoral college rather than a popular vote for president and vice president? How did a document that once sanctioned slavery, denied voting rights to women, and turned a blind eye to state governments running roughshod over the liberties of minorities transform into a bulwark of protection for all?The United States Constitution answers all of these questions. Sure to surprise, challenge, and provoke, it is hands down the most memorable introduction to America's founding document.

The United States Constitution

The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation Your teen will find answers to all his questions about why America found itself at war with itself in The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation. He will begin to grasp the deep-seated conflict between limited government and a robust government. He will also learn how Americans allowed slavery to take hold, then found it practically impossible to abandon it. The Gettysburg Address: A Graphic Adaptation scrutinizes each portion of the Address to reexamine the entire Civil War and its resulting consequences. It draws on fascinating first-hand accounts of Americans. Using the details of individual families, soldiers, leaders, and enslaved people, The Gettysburg Address shows us the events through the eyes of those who lived it. Intelligently written and lavishly illustrated, The Gettysburg Address is gripping and illuminating. Note: There is an instance of (what we consider) inappropriate language on page 7. Nothing that your older child will not have heard before; it can easily be rectified with a touch of white-out. From the Publisher:A fully illustrated graphic adaptation that offers a new look at the Gettysburg Address, the bloody battle that prompted it, and the Civil War. Most of us can recall "Four score and seven years ago," but much of what we know about this historic speech, and what it has to say about the Civil War itself, has been lost since we left grade school. The Gettysburg Address offers a revolutionary way to experience Lincoln's masterwork. Striking at the underlying meaning of Lincoln's words, it uses the Address to tell the whole story of the Civil War. We see how bitter seeds sown by the Founding Fathers sprouted into a bloody war, and ultimately blossomed into the progress and justice of the Civil Rights era. The book depicts pivotal events that led to the upheaval of the secession crisis, the crucial Battle of Gettysburg, and the conflict's still-unfolding legacy with firsthand accounts from Americans from all walks of life: slaves, soldiers, citizens, and, of course, Abraham Lincoln himself—the most transformational president in U.S. history. Writer Jonathan Hennessey and illustrator Aaron McConnell illuminate history with vibrant, detailed graphics and captions that will give you a fresh understanding of this vital speech, which defined America's most tragic war and marked a new path forward.
