Chester Comix brings history to reluctant readers! In this full-color graphic novel you will find exciting biographies of Jackie Robinson, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and Thurgood Marshall. A timeline across every page helps students place people and events in context. Each book can be a literacy tool (the titles across the top of each page are questions, which make great writing prompts for students) or a research source (each book has an index).

About the Author
Bentley Boyd's comix come from both sides of his brain: he graduated from Harvard Univesity cum laude with a degree in History and Literature and has been a professional cartoonist for 15 years. He is a passionate advocate for the use of the graphic novel form to build literacy among today's visual learners. He lives in Williamsburg, Virginia, and uses all the historical research tools he can within a day's drive of that Colonial capital.

This review is from: The Civil Rights Freedom Train (Chester Comix) (Paperback)
These comics are enjoyed by our entire family. Our 10 year old son can't seem to put them down as the illustrations and content are clever and entertaining. We love how Bently Boyd brings history to life in a fun, creative and easy reading style for all reading levels. After my son is finished reading he can't wait to share what he read with the entire family. We have acquired the entire set of Chester Comix with Content Series and love them all. These make a GREAT gift for anyone of any age or even for teachers as they are an awesome learning tool. A gift that keeps giving. This is a definate must have for the entire family. ENJOY!
