| I was particularly struck by the first poem Red Velvet, about Rosa Parks. What a great companion to the many picture book biographies of her. | |

| A biography of a 1970s childhood in China. Fascinating on many levels and a great use of the graphic novel to make a culturally complex story more accessible. | |

| Nice graphic novel about embracing your identity as an artist. Not all panels but a nice mix of different types of images. Great for the introspective teen even if he or she doesn't like to draw. | |

This is a very late answer. I only just now found your message.
Yes, middles are the hardest part in my opinion. In revising HEART with my editor we added two new chapters to the middle and changed the order of some others to make the arc of the story work a little better. I usually write a first draft with only a loose outline but I tighten it up considerably in later revision.
Feedback is always good. I rely on my critique partners and editor for lots of questions to help me in revisions.
I'm fortunate enough to live in the same town as Ursula LeGuin so I've heard her speak several times and she is amazing! What an inspiration!
