One fine day on the streets of Chicago, one of The UFL's roving bloggers caught "V" the freedom fighter taking five, catching up on his reading. Although not reading a graphic novel from whence he came, The UFL has a growing and exciting collection of graphic novels to satisfy even the most discriminating revolutionary. What about you? Can we catch you reading? Here's a selection of great graphic novels from the YALSA website, that have a high level of teen appeal. All of the titles below can be found on the shelves at your library:
