The graphic novel, with it’s short, individual sentences in speech-bubbles has been a huge success for my 9 year old, dyslexic granddaughter! The shorter, confined sentences make it easier for her to read independently. Most kids like the “comic” book style. It is written in all capital letters, which is also easier for her since it is often lowercase letters that she reverses. We love the content and stories that are based on historical events! Plus, the main character of these books is always a child., The only negative is that as an older adult, reading these books aloud to her is slower for me because of the small font size and the capital letters. However, the book was designed for children not my age, so YAY!

I liked the story and the way it was presented as a graphic novel. The fact that it was non-fiction, I think, made it that much more fun to read. My 8 year old grandson loved it.
