I have read this graphic novel by the great Will Eisner, and I have it catalogued in the adult fiction section of the library. It is really an adult graphic novel, but perhaps some teens could appreciate it as well.
Eisner, in a clever twist at the beginning of his novel, tells Dickens - and us -the "real" story of Fagin and his life, giving us at the same time a vivid historical portrayal of Ashkenazi Jewish life in London in Dickens' time. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Eva Eisenstein, Librarian Temple Sholom of Chicago 3480 N.
