Thea Stilton series.
In their first graphic novel, the Thea Sisters (five mice students who aspire to be journalists), look into a whale's odd behavior and the disruption of a Mouseford Academy ritual. Advanced language and an extensive back story from a related series make a poor starting place, but the illustrations' light, warm palette and a style reminiscent of classic adventure comics make this story appealing.
