Graphic Novels
Graphic novels are an excellent way to ignite a child’s love for reading! These engaging stories stand out from standard novels by combining imaginative text with vivid, action-packed images, allowing children to not only enjoy the narrative but also use visuals to better understand and follow the plot.
Because they’re less intimidating than pages full of text, graphic novels offer a more approachable reading experience, giving kids the confidence to dive into stories they might otherwise shy away from.
At Laburnum House, we offer a wide range of graphic novels for both primary and secondary-aged children, all available at half price. Whether for independent reading, class libraries, or reading groups, these books are a fantastic way to engage children and help them develop a lifelong love of reading!
