We have received the first two books in the "Paperboy" series written by 13-year-old Jeremiah Omari, and the third is on order. In the first book, 11-year-old Michael defends his schoolmates from bullies. As he becomes a superhero, he runs afoul of the LOEP, the League Of Evil People. There are the occasional illustrations in each chapter but the book contains more text than a "normal" graphic novel. It is selected for graphic novel reading lists. Does this book qualify as a graphic novel? Hmmm...you decide. It's great to see an African-American superhero, isn't it! You go, Omari!
