(2) K-3 The action in Stamaty's black ink drawings is immediate and exciting as graphic-novel panels tell about the 2003 rescue of an Iraqi library's books in the midst of the war. A talking book character provides background and narrates the story, describing librarian Alia Baker as a "real-life superhero." Information about the history of libraries in the Middle East is appended.
