One of the most significant transformations in literature for
children and young adults during the last twenty years has been the
resurgence of comics. Educators and librarians extol the benefits
of comics reading, and increasingly, children's and YA comics and
comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award
and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence
of children's and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received
adequate scholarly attention. Graphic Novels for Children and Young
Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of
children's and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five
sections: structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and
sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring
topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The
contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of
disciplines-English, education, library science, and fine arts.
Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics,
including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and
Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang,
Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes
frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as
Raina Telgemeier's Drama andSherman Alexie's The Absolutely True
Diary of a Part-Time Indian. With contributions by: Eti Berland,
Rebecca A. Brown, Christiane Buuck, Joanna C. Davis-McElligatt,
Rachel Dean-Ruzicka, Karly Marie Grice, Mary Beth Hines, Krystal
Howard, Aaron Kashtan, Michael L. Kersulov, Catherine Kyle, David
E. Low, Anuja Madan, Meghann Meeusen, Rachel L. Rickard Rebellino,

Die sesde boek in die gewilde Asterix-reeks, wat groot en klein
wereldwyd bekoor. Caesar beskuldig Cleopatra daarvan daar haar volk
agteruitgegaan het. Cleopatra is woedend, en beveel dadelik haar
beste argitek om binne drie maande 'n spoggerige nuwe paleis vir
Caesar te bou. Om so 'n onmoontlike taak te verrig, benodig die
argitek dringend die hulp van Kasterolix en sy towerkuns.
