NOVELS TURNED GRAPHIC

It's all the rage lately. First was Coraline...

and The Lightening Thief...

And now two new novels turned graphic novels present themselves:

I'll report back and let you know how they are. Having a graphic novel option is standard now days in publishing contracts. I always take that clause out because I want control over that issue even though it's HIGHLY ulikely that a picture book would ever be turned into a graphic novel! If I were an author of a novel, however, I would want to write the graphic novel version myself... and illustrate it myself! Of course, if I chose to write a novel then I think that's how I'd want it. Otherwise I would have created it as a graphic novel.
