Welcome to Litsy!

I am not usually a huge history person, but this was very simple and done tastefully. For those who really want to learn more there are other books to read further.

This #NonfictionGraphicNovel complements Anne Frank‘s diary so well - using her words, along with historical facts about the period, it really transports the reader to Anne‘s world. It‘s sobering, and some of the illustrations are very haunting. But, it‘s also a gentle way to introduce the atrocities those of the Jewish faith faced in World War II era Europe. #MiddleGrade #BBRC

Raid of No Return - Focuses on Pearl Harbor and our bombers that attacked Japan after. Warning: Tear indusing ending 😭

Well! The publisher‘s website says for 9-12 years, but as someone a tad older, I learnt loads. It treats the reader as an intelligent human being, never talking down to them, even when explaining tricky concepts, & is relatively gimmick-free (he does shrink to virus size to see inside the body, but purely for research purposes!)

And did you know that viruses can cause the streaks on tulip petals?

Amelia Earhart‘s trip across the Atlantic is told from the perspective of a young girl from the town Trespassey, Newfoundland. The story itself is brief, but the notes at the end of the boom provide a plethora of detail to the people and circumstances mentioned in the narrative. The illustrations are basic, yet depict the story well. A good nonfiction intro for middle graders looking for info on Earhart.

This was a fantastic #NonFictionGraphicNovel It is the story of the Donner Party told by the soon to be hanged Nathan Hale to his executioners. The story is really well researched & just well done. I'm planning on checking out a few other in this series & buying some for my nephews.

Wow this isn‘t just a girl getting braces! She went through some things with her teeth... all during those awkward middle school years. Looking forward to the other books! Last 6pts for #teamslaughter in #scarathlon for non theme book.

Technically it‘s maybe more of a comic book than a #NonFictionGraphicNovel but I *think* it‘s in the spirit of the prompt @LibrarianRyan ? It mainly runs as a single narrative rather than random bits and bobs...

A good fun, informative little read covering dinosaurs, fossils, evolution, discoveries, what we still don‘t know and all sorts, mainly told by the dinosaurs themselves!

We had some books to return so I hit up my favorite children's librarian for suggestions on non fiction middle grade graphic novels. We found this awesome series by "Nathan Hale" about historic events and this great biography on Amelia Earhart!
