The graphic novel, "The Wolves in the the Walls" written by Neil Gaiman is an example of a modern fantasy that I have never been exposed to. In this book, Lucy, the main character thinks that she hears wolves moving around in the walls of her house. She tries to tell people, but no one believes her. Later in the story the wolves come out of the walls, and it is very scary. Lucy and her family have to retreat to their garden where the discuss ideas of where they will live. Towards the end of the book Lucy turns into the hero and convinces her family to take their home back. The story ends with Lucy hearing elephants sneezing in the walls, and deciding that there is no need to tell anyone because they will find out soon enough. This book could be scary to some students in elementary school. Therefore, I would only suggest it to students that are in third grade or older. Overall, the book was very interesting. All of the graphics in the book kept my attention and moved me through the story.
