Tear You Apart by Sarah Cross
For years, Viv has known that she has a Snow White curse, that some day her stepmother will send a huntsman to kill her. She always expected that her best friend-turned-boy friend Henley would be there to protect her. No one expected that Henley would turn out to be the huntsman. When Prince Jasper, one of the princes of the Underworld, offers her a way out, Viv must decide if being around Henley is worth the risk.
I love pretty much any fairy tale retelling. While this isn't my favorite so far it has plenty of time left to turn out amazing.

The Other Side of the Wall by Simon Schwartz
When Simon Schwartz was born in 1982, his parents lived in East Germany. Having applied to emigrate to the west, life was not easy for the Schwartz family. They lived under a constant cloud of suspicion and disapproval and struggled to find work. This short graphic memoir recounts the years leading up to their decision to leave and the three years they were detained in the East.
While this memoir lacks the emotional impact of Maus or Persepolis, Schwartz relates a pretty interesting period in his family's life. This might be a nice supplement to a history unit.
