Serenity -- Rave-N-Rant (Serenity (Barbour))

Kids love Japanese-style graphic novels, so give them America's premier inspirational manga with Serenity, Volume 4. In Rave and Rant, Serenity begins to share her soul with her prayer club friends-and is angered to find that, while they say they love Serenity, they don't always like her. The teen with the blue hair and attitude takes her frustrations to God, but soon decides He isn't listening. . .until a surprise ending makes Serenity think there may be more to prayer than she realizes. Written especially for tween and teen girls, Serenity explores some of life's deepest issues in a lighthearted, appealing way.
