Article Title

 * Heartstopper (graphic novel)

Article Evaluation
Start-Class

I do not think each of these novels deserves its own page as they are continuations of the same story and do not make any sense independently. They are volumes not books. For that reasons, the changes to the Wikipedia page would be to change to cover photo and add synopsis for each of the volumes that have been published. In addition, I would add some information regarding the publication of the volumes, as they started out as webcomics before being traditionally published.

Article title

 * The Upside of Unrequited

Article Evaluation
Start-Class

This is one of the most banned books of 2023 and despite this there is very little literature about it. The Wikipedia page is sparse and does not include a summary or any information about the book's banning. There is a lot of work that is needed to improve the page, but there might not be enough information available to improve it. .

Article title

 * Geronimo Stilton

Article Evaluation
Start-Class

This article is messy, lacks citations, and is overall difficult to read. There is a warning banner at the top of the page, and it suggests the entire article may need to be rewritten. I would add better organization to the article and include sources. The main sources that are needed are for the long list of books on the page. There are no citations for the books on this list. There are also very little academic sources for the books. Because the books are Italian, the academic information is mostly in Italian.

Article title
Loveless

Article Evaluation
This article does not exist, but it should. Loveless is a 2020 book by Alice Oseman (creator of Heartstopper) which follows main character Georgia as she discovers that she is asexual and aromantic. There is literature about the novels portrayal of asexuality and aromanticism, as well as praise for how the novel handles the topic. My only hesitancy is that this is more of a New Adult novel than a Young Adult novel because the main character is a freshman in college.

Article title
Cam Jansen

Article Evaluation
No article exists. One exists for the author, but not the books themselves. An article would include a brief synopsis of the series, their impact on children, and a list of published books.
