[...] If Beatrix Potter had been a manga-ka instead of a proper Edwardian lady, she might have produced something like Happy Happy Clover, a charming series about a spunky rabbit and her woodland friends. Like Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny, Clover has an insatiable curiosity that frequently gets her into trouble, whether she’s looking for the tastiest berries in the forest or trying to steal a carrot from a farmer’s field. Each story has a moral to impart — look before you leap, listen to your elders — but is never didactic or condescending to the reader.

Wow, why didn’t I remember to include Secret Science Alliance in my nominees? Sorry, totally dropped the ball on that one everyone! But, yes, it is a wonderful title and definitely deserves recognition.

Marvel’s “Marvel Adventures” titles are also consistently good and all-ages-friendly (and I mean ALL ages: I’m a 42-year-old with a Master’s in English Lit and I love them!).

Stu and Martha: Thanks for your suggestions! I know Snow enjoyed “The Secret Science Alliance,” as she gave it a very positive review here at GC4K. I don’t know why she didn’t nominate it, but I’d certainly agree that Eleanor Davis is a major talent!

I agree about Secret Science Alliance, and add the Artemis Fowl graphic novels too.

Good list. I would have put “Secret Science Alliance” in, too.

Thank you for this list. I was looking forward to it! I use your collective wisdom here to buy for a 10 year old.
