Book #46 -- Marjane Satrapi, Persepolis: the Story of a Childhood, 153 pages.
An autobiographical graphic novel about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution and the Iran-Iraqi war. *Very* well done, written on a level that even an older child could read and understand, and yet dealing sensitively with such a loaded topic.
