Pencilmation: The Graphite Novel
This wannabe Warner Cartoon/MAD magazine mash-up is better suited for older teens who enjoy the animated series. For younger readers ready to move on from “Captain Underpants” and “Dogman,” offer them Frank Cammuso’s “Knights of the Lunch Table,” Ben Hatke’s “Mighty Jack” and “Zita the Spacegirl,” Jimmy Gownley’s The Dumbest Idea Ever, or Jennifer L. Holm’s “Sunny” series.
A visually kinetic, emotionally complex story of finding a sense of self while navigating relationships and expectations. Fun and full of heart.
