Booklist released its Top 10 Graphic Novels for Youth: 2007, and Comic Book Commentary favorites American Born Chinese and Bumperboy and the Loud, Loud Mountain made the list!

Selected with input from savvy graphic-novel reviewers Tina Coleman, Francisca Goldsmith, Kat Kan, and Jesse Karp, this Top 10 list of titles reviewed during the past 12 months shows the extraordinary breadth of high-quality graphic novels being produced—not only for teens but also for young children.

Two other First Second books were recognized — Lat’s Kampung Boy and Leland Myrick’s Missouri Boy — both of which are on my to-read list. Kudos to all!
