All Hail The Comics-Prose Hybrid

imageIt looks like that no matter what book chart you care to utilize, Jeff Kinney's Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules makes a impressive debut near the top of the charts, while Brian Selznick's The Invention of Hugo Cabret makes a impressive second move onto the charts after its recent Caldecott win. I don't think there's anything to analyze here other than that they're highly appealing books and there's no cultural flutter step that gets in their way, nor has there been for a while now.
