SALT LAKE CITY & NEW YORK, July 22, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–FranklinCovey Education, a global leader in education solutions, and Simon & Schuster, a global publishing house, today announced the paperback release of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens: A Graphic Novel by Sean Covey, which published July 14, 2026. Reimagined as a graphic novel for the first time, this illustrated adaptation brings Covey’s classic, principle-based approach to a new generation of readers through story, humor, and real-life teen challenges.
With over 10 million copies sold, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens has helped generations of teens around the world improve self-esteem and lead better, happier lives.

Packed with colorful illustrations, engaging storylines, and timeless life lessons, it offers powerful takeaways on maneuvering decision-making in life. It’s considered a definitive roadmap to thriving in the teen years.
Covey’s graphic novel follows seven relatable high school students as they navigate personal growth, friendship, and real-world problems, and discover how effective habits shape their choices and futures. Anchored in the timeless principles of the 7 Habits, this fun, engaging, and visually appealing story provides the ultimate teenage success guide.
“Teens are confronting more complexity and pressure than ever, and they deserve tools that are both practical and engaging,” said Sean Covey, FranklinCovey Education President. “This graphic novel brings the 7 Habits to life through stories and characters teens can see themselves in, while keeping to the principles that have helped millions of young people lead more effective lives.”
Research shows that graphic novels often contain more advanced vocabulary per page than standard children’s books. The combination of text and visual storytelling helps readers build meaning, interpret context, and stay engaged. It can be especially helpful for English language learners, readers developing comprehension skills, and neurodivergent students in helping them decode the story and retain the information, while offering an engaging and challenging reading experience. The books can create the moment when reading stops feeling like an assignment and becomes something students love to do.
