A couple of days ago, Pop Culture Classroom announced the Excellence in Graphic Literature Awards, even as they had to postpone the Denver Pop Culture Con to November. I was proud and honored to serve as Assistant Chair for the Middle Grades Award Jury. Below you will see the complete list of winners (with links to ones I have reviewed), though I plan to highlight some of the other notable submissions I read in the next few weeks.
Congratulations to all the winners and to PCC for another great year!
