Graphic Novels

Ever heard of ToyoPop? Graphic Novels? Well I never had until Pixie started to read them... Yeah, they are books from Japan (she is fascinated with any Japanese culture and has even been teaching her to speak the language). The books are actually backwards -- Let me explain:

The book cover is where we usually have the "back"cover. It goes backwards. Pages and all. You also read them right to left rather than left to right. Very interesting. There are several series and at this moment she is reading "Kodocha".

"Japanamation" is really adorable. It keeps her reading in a very veracious manner and that's a good thing. I found that I was trying to push my type of genre on her (science fiction/ fantasy/ medieval etc) and while she likes it fantasy, it wasn't something that would hold her attention book-after-book. She did read the Circle of Three series (all 15 books) which is written by a Wiccan lady, and our library has the entire set. The Japanese books, being graphic novels, do go rather fast and she's going through one book a day. At least she's not sitting in front of the tv.

For the books to be authentic the back is stamped "100% Manga" and the cover and pages are reversed.
