Every book on this shelf is a real person's real life, told in comics. Pick the one whose life sounds like it'll grab your child, the deaf girl with the superhero hearing aid, the boy raising his little brother in a refugee camp, the artist who chipped her teeth in sixth grade, and hand it over. Any single one satisfies this whole path. Because they're true, they stick, and because they're comics, even a child who swears they hate reading finishes them.
What they share is that they're all true, and all told in comics, which is a combination that does something special: it carries a child painlessly into a real life very different from, or sometimes exactly like, their own. Choose by whose story your child will most want to be inside. Any one of them is a finished trail the day they close it.
