Picket Line just got me hooked on graphic novels, specifically in this genre. Even without reading the thoughts and conversations between characters, you can empathize with them through their joys and hardships.

Not only are the illustrations captivating, but the story as well urged me to read it all in practically one sitting. At times it's funny, other times it serious, and throughout it all it's inspiring to read a genuine story of a girl who experiences that first "jumping out of the nest" adventure so many us of can relate to. I know I'll pick it up again and again for its charm, visuals, and storyline.
