The graphic novel Persepolis is about an Iranian girl growing up during the Islamic wars in the 20th century. Many people whom she know and loves die during the war for standing up for what they believe. However, this does not stop her from being a rebel and always saying her opinion out loud even if that's gonna bring her trouble.

If you like graphic novels, you might also like: Maus

If you like graphic novels, I recommend Maus. It is a story about the holocaust. A father tells his son what happened with a lot of details. The thing that makes this holocaust story special is that all the Jews are represented as mice and all the Nazis - cats. The Polish peopls are represented as pigs and the Americans as dogs. I really like the drawings, they are well made and perfectly show emotion. If you studied Night in 9th grade and want it like a graphic novel, then I recommend that you read it. Read it in one go, it will take you less than two hours. -Alex

Are you interested in the Holocaust? Are you bored of heavy books that talk about WWII? Then Maus is the book for you. It's not just a book - it's a graphic novel that tells the story of hte Jews during WWII in an unusual way. Watch the Nazis and Jews play like a cat and a mouse. Who's going to win? -Vesco
