Comics and graphic novels are an excellent, fun and effective way to encourage reluctant readers to acquire and practice their reading skills, and learn to enjoy the reading of books in the process. School Specialty Publishing has developed an outstanding series of graphic novels called "Stories from History" which is ideal for use with reluctant (as well as enthusiastic!) readers in grades 8 through 12. Each 6" by 9", 48-page, full-color graphic novel is available in both paperback ($6.95) and hardcover ($14.95) editions. This informative and reader engaging series which is strongly recommended for family, school, and library collections includes Colin Hynson's The Building Of The Great Pyramid Great Pyramid,

the Cheops’ tomb, built 4,600 years ago, nearly 500 feet high, with bases 755 feet long. [Egypt. Arch.: Brewer Dictionary, 735]
