Great Graphic Novels for Teens
Annual literary award for graphic novels / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The American Library Association's Great Graphic Novels for Teens, established in 2007, is an annual list presented by Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) division of graphic novels and illustrated nonfiction geared toward individuals ages 12–18.
Like YALSA's other lists, librarians, parents, and educators rely on the Great Graphic Novels for Teens list to help select suitable texts for their collections.[1][2][3][4][5] This is particularly important for graphic novels, which are popular among young adults and have rapidly gained popularity in the past thirty years.[2][6] Graphic novels are especially popular among "reluctant readers" and "visual learners", and they can "improve comprehension and interpretation of themes, literary devices, and social issues, among other topics."[7]
