Graphic novels are a great way to encourage your students to read more and build important literacy skills. The Bad Guys is a graphic novel series with captivating illustrations and laugh-out-loud storylines — perfect for engaging both striving and avid readers. 

In this series, the main characters are doing the exact opposite of what bad guys are known for: good things. Filled with heists and other hijinks, the characters get into wacky situations, like encountering aliens and getting stuck in a zombie kitten apocalypse. 

These humorous books are not only entertaining, but they also help your students build important social-emotional skills, like kindness and respect. The lessons about friendship in The Bad Guys will also inspire your students to apply those concepts in real life. 

In the penultimate book of this hit series, The Bad Guys #19: The Serpent and the Beast, Big Bad Wolf has had enough. He enlists fellow bad guys Shark, Snake, and Piranha to join him in his ill-fated effort to cross over to the good side!
