No Flying, No Tights: A Website Reviewing Graphic Novels for Teens
A beautifully designed website with lots of new reviews, created by a library technician from Massachusetts. From the site: "I decided to create a page devoted to graphic novel reviews specifically for those who read them the most -- mainly teens -- and for those who might be involved in distributing them to teens -- namely teachers, librarians, and parents."

Reading Rants: Out of the Ordinary Teen Booklists
From the site: "What is it? A group of booklists for those of you teens out there who need a good read, but are wondering if there's life after Judy Blume and Gary Paulsen. . . . Why are you posting these lists? Because I think some librarians, teachers, book publishers and other adults don't give teens enough credit when it comes to reading tastes. I think that sometimes teens want books that ask a little more of them than Sweet Valley High or Fear Street, but that are still interesting enough to keep their attention. Hopefully the books suggested here will do just that."
