The Plain Jones


by: Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg
Published by: DC Comics
Copyright 2007

Summary: A girl deals with the problems of moving to a new city

Strengths: There are good illustrations, an easy read, and a very good concept.

Concerns: I really do not enjoy the setup of graphic novels and the fact that it was all in black and white.

Age level: Elementary (3-4), Upper (5-6)

Classroom Use: We can relate easily with our daily lives and problems we encounter.

  1. It's hard for those of us who are not drawn to graphic novels to evaluate them fairly, though I think you did so here. Perhaps as you work with students who enjoy them, you'll gradually learn to appreciate them more - maybe! ;)
