Good day,
I picked interest in you after going through your short profile and demanding it is necessary for me to write to you immediately. I have something very important to discuss with you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on (kristinageorgieva480@gmail.com) for full details.
Best regards,
Kristalina Georgieva.

HI Jessica -

I saw your post from awhile ago asking about a short superhero graphic novel and thought I would contribute an idea, if you are still looking. 

I recently used The Amazing Life of Onion Jack by Joel Priddy with my middle school students and I think it would be totally appropriate for 9th graders, too.  The story is short - 10 pages - and requires a lot of reading skills: inference, knowledge of allusion to other superhero stories, plot structure, action = character, and irony - to name a few. At the same time, the story is simple and fun.

The story can be found in the 2006 edition of America’s Best Comics, edited by Harvey Pekar.

I hope this is helpful.

Yours,

Joan
