TEN GRAPHIC NOVELS (AND MANGA) FOR SCHOOLS!
The London and South East SLG recently hosted a fantastic event at Forbidden Planet and to accompany the event one of our committee members shared with us the top picks for graphic novels and manga for use in schools. Choosing GNs and Manga for schools is such a minefield and if you are not familiar with the genre it is very easy to end up with material of a type that does not fit the needs of your pupils.

Very helpful – sad not to have made outing to Forbidden Planet – certainly not apathy just that life got in the way… Will just have to make a solo trip – armed with your list.
