Toon Graphic series.
Translated by Lola Moral.
Illustrated by
Sergio García Sánchez.
Color by Lola Moral. Mr. Bartle's sixth graders explore the NYC subway on their way to the Empire State Building. Newcomer and lone wolf Pablo gets on the wrong train; good-natured Alicia follows. This graphic novel's detail-filled art vividly conveys scenes below and above ground. The Spanish translation is more formal than the original English but overall is serviceable. Brief essays and historic photographs appended. Concurrently published in English. Reading list, websites.
