| | 1. |  | Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood
from Pantheon
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
I feel I learned more about the history of Iran through the eyes of a little girl who was practically forced to become an adult by the age of 14 than most textbooks. Marjane Satrapi, or "Marji" captured my attention, thanks to the successful marriage of her "crudely-drawn" panels and approachable... more info

| | 3. |  | Persepolis Boxed Set
from Pantheon
Price: $17.09
Customer Review:
What a fantastic graphic novel! If you normally don't read graphic novels (or comic books), don't be afraid, the pictures won't hurt you and the stories are only enhanced by this format. Buy the box set because the first book will only leave you wanting more.
The books are composed of short... more info

from Pantheon
Price: $10.36
Customer Review:
I loved Persepolis, so when I realized there was a Persepolis 2, I quickly bought a used copy from Amazon. When I received it, I was very disappointed to learn that I had already read it! Although my first book was entitled Persepolis, it contained both stories. Check your copy of Persepolis before... more info

from Pantheon
Price: $8.76
Customer Review:
Embroideries is a wonderfully funny graphic novel detailing the romantic lives of women in Iran. Each woman's story spans just a few pages, but touching, amusing punchlines are delivered every time. The illustrations are lively and gestural, capturing the personalities of Marjane's family and... more info

from Pantheon
Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
Marjane Satrapi, Chicken with Plums (Pantheon, 2006)
Satrapi's fourth book gives us biography instead of memoir this time-- the story of her great-uncle Nasser Ali Khan, a musician who decides to die after his wife breaks his favorite instrument. We are taken through the final eight days of... more info

| | 7. |  | Monsters Are Afraid of the Moon
from Bloomsbury USA Children's Books
Price: $10.85
Customer Review:
This book isn't as good as Marjane Satrapi's adult graphic novels are. The story doesn't quite jell and it doesn't quite make sense, but I think it is an earnest attempt at a children's book and my students will like it. My kids are learning English and I think the beginning readers will have a good... more info
