These titles will be a great next step for those who love Raina Telgemeier.\r\n\r\nAnother new series that has been very popular is \"Max Meow\" by John Gallagher. These books are graphic novels about a cat hero who saves the day. Both of those topics are quite exciting for our upper elementary students. Another new series that I expect to fly off the shelves is \"The Last Comics on Earth\" by Max Brallier and Joshua Pruett.\r\n\r\nThe most popular ones today were the latest copies of \"Sonic the Hedgehog\" and the \"I Survived\" graphic novels. Last year the students were competing for who would get the next copy, so they are very happy to see more of these series on the shelves.\r\n\r\nThis project was full of titles with quite a range of interests and reading levels so that every student can find something to meet their needs.","fullyFundedDate":1743190120658,"projectUrl":"project/grabbing-readers-with-graphic-novels/9181147/","projectTitle":"Grabbing Readers With Graphic Novels","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Cuthrell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7728893_orig.jpg?crop=413,413,x0,y312&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1743733638682","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/mrs-cuthrell"},{"teacherId":4722310,"projectId":9450475,"letterContent":"Wow you were super to our classroom.
