ChristusG Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 DD9 has gotten into comics. She read a series about a guinea pig detective last week (can't remember the exact name). And I supplemented our Lewis and Clark study with a comic book about their journey. Now she's reading the Adventures of Tintin. Any other recommendations besides super hero types? Nothing like Archie either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My girls like Asterix, Tintin, and Calvin and Hobbes. They usually check out a few from the library every week (for years now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Any reason you are avoiding super hero types? Does this include Greek gods (they do have super powers)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loowit Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 My DD says that Amelia Rules is a good one. She was given a copy at free comic book day and thought it would be good for younger girls. She said there are also some Nancy Drew graphic novels that she likes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Marmalade Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 DS really enjoys Amulet- he's re-read all of them several times, and every time he dives in like it's the first time he's read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks for the replies! We'll try those.... I had forgotten about Calvin and Hobbes. No reason for avoiding the super hero ones.... She just doesn't seem to care for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julie Smith Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Perhaps she hasn't meet the right super hero yet. Zita the Spacegirl When her best friend is abducted by an alien doomsday cult, Zita leaps to the rescue and finds herself a stranger on a strange planet. Humanoid chickens and neurotic robots are shocking enough as new experiences go, but Zita is even more surprised to find herself taking on the role of intergalactic hero. Before long, aliens in all shapes and sizes don’t even phase her. http://www.amazon.com/Zita-Spacegirl-Ben-Hatke/dp/1596434465/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390777703&sr=8-1&keywords=Zita+the+spacegirl Sidekicks (This is the only one on my list that isn't part of a series) Look up in the sky!

Missile Mouse, secret agent for the Galactic Security Agency, is a risk taker and a rule breaker, which is why he's in hot water at GSA headquarters.

What's it like to be so extraordinary and yet so invisible? Not even Megan, Mal's secret crush, has any idea that Mal is anything more than a dork. Fortunately, Mal and Chad are best friends with a penchant for adventure . . . even if the time-traveling does get them grounded by Mal's mom. http://www.amazon.com/Mal-Chad-Biggest-Bestest-Time/dp/0399252215/ref=la_B004B0SG5Q_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1390777879&sr=1-3 Binky the Space Cat Binky is a space cat - at least in his own mind. He's really a house cat who has never left the family "space station." Unlike other house cats, Binky has a mission: to blast off into outer space (outside), explore unknown places (the backyard) and battle aliens (bugs). Binky must undergo rigorous training so he can repel the alien attacks that threaten his humans. As he builds his spaceship, he must be extremely careful with his blueprints - the enemy is always watching. Soon Binky is ready to voyage into outer space. His humans go out there every day and he's sure they need a certified space cat to protect them. But just as he's about to blast off with his co-pilot, Ted (stuffed mousie), Binky realizes that he's left something very important behind ? and it's not the zero-gravity kitty litter. In the first book in the Binky Adventure series, graphic-novel readers will delight in watching where this lovable and quirky cat's imagination takes him. http://www.amazon.com/Binky-Space-Cat-Adventure/dp/1554534194/ref=pd_sim_b_7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie Smith Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 The Olympians series by George O'Connor Big hit over here.
