Graphic Rave is an annual graphic novel and manga list produced by the members of the Oregon Young Adult Network and announced in late summer. Books nominated should be written and marketed for readers of middle and high school age (generally 6th-12th grade)
and be published between May 1, 2019 and April 30, 2020. Nominations will be collected May-June. Members will then be invited to vote on the nominated books through midsummer, narrowing the list to approximately 20 OYAN Graphic Rave selections. The list is
further discussed at the summer meeting of the Oregon Young Adult Network. Please nominate early and often!!</div>
