(4) 4-6 Hot Topics in Media series. This middle-grade series explores controversial issues in the media. Once considered a bad influence on children, comics and graphic novels are now far more accepted; this book focuses on the genre's history, beginning with comic books in the 1930s. The page design is uninspired, but photos and sidebars enhance the texts, and discussion questions prompt critical thinking. Reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
