My dd - an avid reader - has discovered graphic novels via my DH's small collection of Artemis Fowl graphic novels (yes, we have the original books. Love Artemis Fowl. And the audio books).
Any suggestions for other graphic novels she might like. I'm not really a fan. DH has these ones plus Guards!Guards! as graphic novels. Other ideas?

DS1 is Y6 and says the Amulet series is popular.

You've just reminded me - she read the first Alex Rider recently in graphic novel form. I bought her a set of the ordinary Alex Rider books from Oxfam and she enjoyed them - got a bit samey for her. But I'll look up others in graphic novel format.

The Darren Shan saga comes in graphic novel form and is for kids her age while also seeming quite grown-up, she might like the graphic novels and the books.

I've seen A Wrinkle in Time as a graphic novel.

Amulet as mentioned above is brilliant (series)
Also
Nimona by Stevenson
Lumberjanes (series)
Zita the space girl (trilogy)
Smile & others by Raina Telgemeier
Rapunzel's Revenge by Shannon Hale

The zelda series are also hugely popular with my 10 yr old book worm.

Mighty Jack is younger but great.
