Graphic Novels
Graphic novels are a superb way to encourage a child’s love for reading. These approachable stories differ from standard novels in that they combine imaginative text with vivid action-packed images, so children can enjoy reading while taking in visuals to help them better comprehend the narrative. Because they’re less intimidating than a page full of text, kids can easily dive into a story with confidence. Here at Laburnum we stock a wide range of Graphic Novels for primary and secondary aged children, all available at half price!
