The Graveyard Book Graphic Novel, Volume 1
by P. Craig Russell, Neil Gaiman
This was a beautiful YA novel about an extremely tough topic. The story was told in a way that is appropriate for middle grade readers without glossing over the horrors that the victims of Boko Haram have experienced and are experiencing. The afterword was great at expanding on some of the experiences and facts that are not fleshed out either because a) the book was written for young readers or b) because it is something that the protagonist would not be aware of, so it didn't make it into the book. The afterword also includes the stories of the real life victims that the characters are based on. I also appreciated the list of further reading in the back. So not only is this an own voices story from a Nigerian author, but it also does a great job of promoting more real life information about an ongoing issue that we should all be worried about.
