It has been given starred reviews in most major publications, showed up on virtually every "best of" list for the year, and has drawn inevitable comparisons to another award-winning graphic novel series: <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=2820055&ymlink=93750271&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmile%2Eamazon%2Ecom%2Fdp%2F0394747232%2F%3Ftag%3Dswli04%2D20" style="color: #2d74a0;">Maus</a>. </font></span></p>

When I worked in the Children's Department, there was perhaps not a more requested middle-grade title than <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=2820055&ymlink=93750271&finalurl=http%3A%2F%2Fsmile%2Eamazon%2Ecom%2Fdp%2F0545132061%2F%3Ftag%3Dswli04%2D20" style="color: #2d74a0;">Raina Telgmeier's Smile</a> for years after its publication. There are even more that aren't anywhere on my radar because I, perhaps like you, could use a lot more education on graphic novels. I could certainly stand to read a few more.<br />
