     The Good Neighbors, Book One:Kin by Holly Black & Ted Naifeh. This latest addition to our graphic novel collection comes from the creator of the popular Spiderwick Chronicles(with Tony DiTerlizzi). In this series, Holly Black appeals to an older reader with her new character Rue Silver, a high school student who begins seeing things when her mother disappears and her father is accused of murder. The secret of her family's ancestry is soon revealed, and Rue has to deal with a world of darkness, illusion, and  romance. Naifeh's illustrations are bathed in shadow, as he carries us into the bizarre realm of Rue's visions. This book is recommended for older teens.
