Apart from graphic novels like Persepolis and japanese manga, there are dozens of books worth mentioning. Some of the greatest ones to have hit the shelves of a school include March: Book One, Amelia Rules and Nat Turner. ‘March: Book One’ is a fist hand account of congressman John Lewis’ lifelong struggle for civil and human rights. It also reflects the good and bad things about the civil rights movement. ‘Amelia Rules!’ is about a young girl who tries to adjust to the town she has moved to after her parents’ divorce. The book focuses on important aspects of life such as family, loss and love. ‘Nat Turner’ is the story of Turner himself, a native rebel and his slave rebellion. To some he is a famous hero and serves as a symbol for black people. Such books have gained so much popularity, that they went on to becoming a series of books which came out on a monthly basis. 16
