James Patterson is a popular author for a wide range of ages. A series that has been popular as a novel is Maximum Ride. It maintains that popularity in Graphic Novel format. The story follows a group of young people who are trying to survive. They are just like any other young people, except that they have wings. This makes them targets and when the youngest member of their group is kidnapped, they must work to rescue her.
Another popular series written by Marissa Meyer is The Lunar Chronicles. This series follows the story of Cinderella and several other fairy tale characters as they work together to see the rightful heir to the throne take her place. So, the Graphic Novel is an extension of the story as Wires and Nerve is written from the viewpoint of Iko, Cinder's android friend, and her role in creating a safe and fair reign under Seline's rule.
