I love them soooo much! They're the only graphic novels that I like. I love them because they have such amazing characters and everything in them is completely realistic!
auntieb auntieb

Ooooooh @BKS I have a couple of graphic novels to recommend to you!! (I actually used to think graphic novels were really silly! But I enjoy them more now!) Anyways, I would recommend Roller Girl and the Five Worlds series (The Sand Warrior is how you have to look it up) I absolutely love these books!!!
