Thanks as always for your recommendations; once again you've sent me to the shelves to find books that I can use with and recommend to my teens!
I wanted to second the recommendation for A Tale Dark and Grimm. I love that sarcastic and funny narrator to pieces! As a fan of fairy tales and fairy tale retellings / reimaginings, I think Gidwitz did a great job both honoring the original stories and examining them with a modern eye.
And while I'm a fan of the Choose Your Own Adventure concept and I definitely WANTED to like Shiga's Meanwhile, I have to admit that I had trouble following all those twisty turny lines to find my way through all the panels in the right order. I'm guessing (hoping?) that's a visual thing rather than a mental thing.
