— Review of Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults : A Collection of Critical Essays, 2017 anthology criticism

'Scholars have placed considerable importance on the study of contemporary children's and young adult (YA) comics, and this collection of twenty critical essays furthers that endeavor. As editors of Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults: A Collection of Critical Essays, Michelle Abate and Gwen Tarbox make a sensible case as to why there needs to be a continuation of scholarship of children's and YA comics. Since the beginning of the twenty‐first century, there has been a boom in the number of publications inside this genre. This explosion of material has reached young readers in school libraries and classrooms. While the field of comics studies continues to blossom, little attention has actually been given to children's and YA comics in contemporary times. Most comics scholars have tended to focus on comics aimed at young adults before the twentieth century. This work helps fill this hole in comics scholarship.' (Introduction)
