Written By: Neil Gaiman
Illustrated By: Dave McKean
This book was about a girl who thought there were wolves living in the walls of her house. Her family didn't believe what she thought and her mother told her that "if the wolves come out of the walls, then it's all over!". Well, one night the wolves came out of the walls and the girl and her family ran for their lives. They spent the night outside and discussed places they could move to. The girl snuck back to the house to get her stuffed pig that she left behind. She snuck in behind the walls. She saw the wolves tearing the house apart. After seeing this she got an idea. Her family would hide in the walls of the house and scare the wolves away. When they carried out their plan, the wolves ran for their lives and as they were leaving said, "once the people come out of the walls, it's all over!" The pictures in this book were amazing. I would use it in the classroom to show students how graphic novels allow the pictures to tell the story. The reader would still be able to understand what was happening in the the story if the text were absent.
