A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel

Hope Larson did an amazing job making a classic book into a lovely graphic novel. The illustrations are spot on! She took all the best parts of the book and made them come alive. Really an excellent read and a beautiful expression of L'Engle's wonderful story. Don't even hesitate: BUY THIS NOW!

Hope Larson had her work cut out for her as she tried to offer a graphic novel of Madeline L’Engle’s “Wrinkle in Time” which is one of the most beloved American children’s book of the last half decade. Larson is smart enough to follow L’Engle’s book, almost to the letter. Even quiet asides which helped establish Meg Murray, her gifted brother Charles Wallace and their friend Calvin O’Keefe are included. The art, while not particularly memorable, works to convey the story and, to her credit, Larson does a fine job with some of the stranger locations and creatures the children encounter. Still, the lack of color hurts badly--especially on Uriel.

Larson also follows L’Engle when it comes to the core messages of the book. The graphic novel showcases L’Engle’s message that there is evil in the world and great religious leaders--Jesus, Buddha, St. Francis--artists and thinkers help fight against the darkness. Larson is able to recapture this message. She simply refused to water the book down. Recommended and fans of the original book can breath a sigh of relief.

I haven't read this book in years. There were two scenes I remembered from the first time around. The explanation of what a wrinkle is, and Aunt Beast asking what it's like to see.

This was great to see. Can't wait to actually reread the novel again, bc I want to read the entire series now.

Some of the more recent graphic novel adaptations of good books have pretty bland. While it's important to stay true to the source material, the graphic version should be bringing something new to the table...otherwise what's the point. Hope Larson's take on the visuals for this fantasy classic are truly amazing. I love the cartoony feel and use of color. Looking forward to finding more of her work.

I loved this book as a kid, and I was very happy to see someone posted a fairly faithful graphic novel adaptation of it. I haven't read the book again recently to see what they might have missed, but it was an enjoyable read nonetheless.

I got this for a 12 year old girl that will read graphic novels over a text book any day. I asked her if she had read this and she said 'yay, like 15 times.' I have no idea how this relates to the original.

What fun! A favorite from my youth in a format for today. And really well done. Didn't feel I was missing a thing. And a visual for all the characters. No, not what I'd envisioned for them, but no less fun for that. Recommended!

A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel is a stunning, beautifully adapted and illustrated telling of L'Engle's novel. I read A Wrinkle in Time in the 4th grade, and it has impacted me till this day. The story manages to combine love, science, and a bit of magic and religion. L'Engles novel and this graphic novel are both to engaging coming-of age stories. I recommend for anyone who has read the book, hasn't read it, and for anyone from the ages of 8 to 99.

Great graphic version if the original novel but lacking enough verbiage in my mind. It brings to life the story, but I believe you miss something in the translation to a graphic novel. Beautifully drawn.

This is an award winning graphic novel version of the original novel. It doesn't skip anything essential and stays true to the story and feel of the novel. The use of color and panels is very american, and actually helps move the story along in places. This is a great addition to any graphic novel collection.

This is a really interesting graphic novel version of the the much loved story _A Wrinkle in Time_. For the most part, it follows the story fairly accurately.

The graphics are unique and interesting. I admit, I was a tad bit put off with the blue toned shading on the artwork, but it grows on you after a little while. In fact, the artwork alone is a good enough reason to purchase this version of the story, though a full color edition would have been much better. Perhaps we can hope for one in the future.

Okay, to the details. :) The graphic novel follows the prose novel pretty well. The author/artist does make some minor changes to the story. I found those changes quite interesting, as they gave me a bit of insight on how the author interprets this story. She makes a few different choices than I do.

One choice is how the characters are drawn, Meg is close to how I have always seen her in my minds eye, but Charles Wallace and Calvin are totally different than I ever envisioned. And that was pretty fun, because it was almost like these characters were new again.

Still interesting, though not so entertaining, were depictions of things the author and artist saw in the characters I have never seen before. Meg's anger came through in an almost disturbing manner throughout the book, disturbing because I had never seen that particular kind of anger in her character. It seemed like an unreasoned anger, not the despairing anger I expected. It was also resolved just a little too easily. There were similar things emphasized in the other characters too. None of which was wrong, all of which I think represented the way the author/artist saw the characters when she read the original story.

No, those depictions were not entertaining, but they sure were interesting. And they made reading the graphic novel a great experience. I read it straight through in one sitting, then came back over the next couple days to savor parts I had particularly enjoyed.

I think most people will find IT most amusing in this retelling.

Well worth the very reasonable price for this this book, and a must have for any collection. I think most of us will find this version resonates well with our children, even if it does, at times, leave those of us who read the book when it was new, slightly bemused.

Such a good adaptation of an already wonderful book. Larson manages to get both the essence of L'Engle's prose and somehow also expand the images I had in my head of Aunt Beast, Charles Wallace, and Mr. Murry. Definitely pick it up--you won't be disappointed.

I bought this book for my 5th graders to read. My current group is really interested in graphic novels. With this book, my students have to borrow the book from me in order to read it. It kind of makes it a "special" book. The students that have read it, love it. A few were even interested in reading the original version.

I read this wonderful book many years ago and chose to read the graphic novel version on my kindle for book club. Very surprised to see it is not illustrative or even colorful. The only colors used are black, white, and blue. The drawings are not detailed, vivid, nor graphic.

I was still trying to put into words what bothered me about this graphic novel version when I read an article by Cassandra Neac on bookriot.com, title: 21 Memorable A WRINKLE IN TIME Quotes.

L’Engle used words to convey feelings about places and fantasy situations. Her words gave me an understanding about these characters and places that is mostly missing in the graphic novel. Rather than complain about what is missing in the graphic I prefer to remember the lovely written words by L’Engle: “Like and equal are not the same thing at all.”

“A book, too, can be a star, ‘explosive material, capable of stirring up fresh life endlessly,’ a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe.”

“Silence fell between them, as tangible as the dark tree shadows that fell across their laps and that now seemed to rest upon them as heavily as though they possessed a measurable weight of their own.”

“People are more than just the way they look.”

This graphic novel is an adaptation of an old favorite that I had never read. I enjoyed it as a good story by itself, but reading other reviews (after reading the book)I guess I was supposed to read the original first. Bummer. I thought it was good.

Adaptation is right in the money. My reluctant reader had to read this novel for school and she was able to get 100% on all chapter quizzes and the test in the whole book she got 93% and it included writing about themes in the book.
She absolutely loved the book and she would have never read (or finished) the original format.
She is eager to read it again. Great book.

It pictorially departs from the original children's novel where the children were less knowing, far more innocent so that readers about 8yrs on could enjoy it. I found this illustrated version far too modern, rather crudely executed and probably for older children. Wondered if the author was still alive and what she made of it.. it is the first graphic novel that I have seen and purchased for my grandchild and will probably be the last.

Nice Story. I wanted to read the book before the movie. I think it would be good for someone who wants a quick read. The illustrations were nice, but the story was very plain. It was hard to relate to the characters and honestly the little boys was a brat, but good message at the end.

I liked this graphic novel adaptation of this classic children's story, but was disappointed to see that the images were not accompanied by software that could make them easily viewable on an e-reader. I use an iPad mini. The ebook graphic novel adaptation for Game of Thrones for example, did have very good software built in for getting a good look at the drawings with appropriate magnification for reading the words. This book lacked these features, and it was awkward to read.

Nice art but the story is horrible. Especially for a kids book, it's just the most meandering pointless story I've ever read. And with hints of bizarre almost cult like 'spirituality'. It's boring at best... very confusing and potentially harmful to children, at worst.

This is a graphic adaptation of L'Engle's classic book, originally published in 1962. It tells the story of siblings Meg & Charles who, with their recently befriended Calvin, start an unintended time-travel adventure in search of the siblings long-time missing physicist father, Dr Murray.

If you grew up with this novel, you will certainly approach this graphic adaptation and the whole reading experience very differently from how I approach it, as I've read this novel as an adult and have no childhood emotional attachment to it.

The first thing I noticed about this novel, unaware of the original publication date, was that the kids and society shown in the story don't know the Internet, don't have mobile phones, tablets or super-duper gadgets, something that millennial kids might find odd. However, this novel is wonderfully imaginative, fun, and is embedded with values and lessons of which any pre-teen or early teen child will benefit:
> It is OK to be different, you have to accept yourself the way you are right now.
> You should not care about what other people think of you, and don't give them power over your own inner voice to dictate your self-worth.
> Having a family that is different from the norm is OK, as long as the family unit is filled with love and the right values.
> You have to learn to accept your part of responsibility in your actions.
> Part of growing up involves you loving your parents but finding a voice that's separate from them.
> Sometimes you have to trust people who are more mature than you and believe that they know better.
> You have to learn to be an individual, still being part of a community without giving too much power to your individuality or of the community.
> There are things in life that cannot be explained, but are real.

The novel also captures things that are very important when growing up and approaching adulthood: the power of mateship, the value of trust, the first love, the importance of having a father and/or authority figure in your life. One of the most interesting parts of the novel is the stay on Planet Camazotz, as teaches young readers important lessons: the difference between individuality and selfishness, the difference between a society in which the individuals are equal and have the same rights, and a society in which everybody is demanded to be and behave the same without deviation from a standard imposed over them; there is also a nice reflection on what true happiness is.

This is a science-fiction fantasy novel, so if I had read this in the 1960s, I would have been thrilled. However, this is year 2017 and I feel that it has dated a bit. The science-fiction has had an amazing development and revolution since the book was written, mostly due to the proliferation of amazing original films, of our gaining knowledge about what is possible and impossible in science, and because of the unbelievable changes in society world wide derived from the digital revolution. Modern readers have a more-scientific accurate version of what time-travel might be, what makes possible life on other planets and of other scientific facts that were unknown or poorly known at the time L'Engle wrote this book. Having said that, I found the concept of a five-dimensional Universe really brilliant, and, after all, this is a fantasy novel, so let our imagination go wild and imagine the impossible.

I enjoyed the graphic adaptation of the book. I cannot comment on whether is a good adaptation or not as I haven't read the original. The graphics are rendered in black, white and sky blue, which is a pity, because I thought this would have been a wonderful book to have it full colour, as the characters' facial expressions would have benefited and be more powerful, and some of the landscapes depicted would have been awesome in colour. However, Larson has captured the spirit of the novel, the characters' personality, and the 1960s flare. I especially loved Larson's rendering of Aunt Beast, the in-between time-travel transitions, and the depiction of events happening in the narrative past.

Overall, this is a lovely book for children approaching adulthood, as it is both fun and wise. As an adult reader, however, I found this graphic book OK, not too exciting and a bit outdated. If your experience is different, well, good on you :).

A feature film based on the novel will be released in 2018.

I had heard different things about the book by Madeleine L'Engle, *A Wrinkle in Time*. Ultimately, I decided to give the story a try, and I am glad that I did do so, for it is a fun and engaging tale that has a pretty good battle of good versus evil. It's in the vein of CS Lewis' works in that way, particularly his *Narnia* tales, since *Wrinkle* is also written for the younger reader demographic. When I saw that there was a graphic novel adaptation of the work, I of course had to read it.

Elsewhere, I have reviewed the story in my review of the novel, so here I will stick to an analysis of the pros and cons of the adaptation to comic format of the story.

First we should deal with an topic that is kinda ambivalent. That, of course, would be the art style. Instead of being color, it's a shade of blue with white and black. It's actually a pretty bold choice to do it this way. I'm certain I'm not the only one that went to this volume expecting some color illustrations as I finally would get to look at these characters I had only seen my heads... and then I saw this. Like something out of some of the *Dark Horse Comics'* *Star Wars* titles, basically. But it is really nice art. It's not the beautiful art that many comic books and some manga have, but it gets the story across more than amply, and it just has a charm to it that is hard to describe. The reason I say ambivalent is because I also liked the cover with the characters in color too. :D

For the "cons", if you will. Well, those are mainly two. The first is that a couple of scenes are dropped from that books. I get that this is sometimes a necessity to adapting a story from one medium to another, so it's not a big deal, in general. The only issue is that one of those scenes they dropped both nicely shows the danger that Charles is in, and ups the stakes.

The other con is something that I feel bad for calling such cause it really is something that is part and parcel of taking elements of a purely imagination-based work like a novel, and laying them out in visual formats in this comic. That is that some of the beautiful and ugly things just didn't have the punch that my imagination, via the words of the novel, gave them. I didn't feel to myself, "Wow! This is so beautiful and awe-inspiring!" or "Brrr. This is so scary and chilling." for instance. As I said, this is quite understandable. Something that is based in words evoking the imagination to an almost visceral response is not going to be easy at all to communicate to this other, more visual format. Though, one such scene did have the majestic feeling that worked well, and that's when Mrs. Whatsit changed form to a centaur-like creator and awed Calvin.

Finally, the pros. Though I am sure there are many, I will highlight two. First of all, I think that the illustrations of the facial expressions worked beautifully. There were no real narrative, non-pov bubbles, and the feelings of the characters were thus completely reliant on the words they spoke, the thoughts they had, and the looks on their faces. Hope Larson, the woman who adapted the novel to this format and illustrated it, managed to convey so much of the novel's characterization via the facial expressions that many times a visual medium just can not convey. A very talented writer and artist, who deserves major kudos.

Finally, despite the drawbacks of trying to put into illustrations the things reliant on imagination, the aliens that the characters meet, Aunt Beast and the others, were really cool. They perfectly encapsulated the feel I remember from the book. They were at the same time so chilling and other, yet kind and noble. Also shown exceptionally were the character quirks of the Mrs. Whatsit, Who and Which. Larson failed to get across their strangeness and how truly alien and strange they are, but the personalities were as well done as any visual medium can get them.

This doesn't have the same punch as the original story. Not due to nostalgia filters or what not, but because the difference in medium had to leave some things out. Other things, like the facial expressions, were arguably a bonus that helped do better than the imagination, though. Also, even with some issues, the ability to see something visually, and take in the story in a different way, was quite enjoyable. Good stuff.

Rating: 4/5 Stars.

A Wrinkle in Time has become a timeless tale, more relevant today than in any other decade, containing two prominent ingredients: a strong female lead, and a popularization of science. Hope Larson does an excellent job at adapting the story to the graphic novel format by capturing the essense of the story, and detailing the physical reactions of the characters in a way that progresses the tale.

The graphic novel format does present a few obstacles that take away from the story as a whole. As with any adaptation (e.g. graphic novel, television, movie) the visual representation of the story reduces the imaginative effort of the reader. If one has read the book before, the graphic novel might not meet expectations of visual elements, such as character looks. Also, the graphic novel is really a reduction of the story, missing some of the wonderful language that has made the original novel such a classic. Meanwhile, the lack of color (the graphic novel uses black, white and blue) takes some getting used to, as does Larson's cartoonish style. In fact, although Larson's artistic style is quite good, the slightly cartoonish nature of it removes any real sense of danger from the pages. Only the scene with the boy's bouncing ball presented any real dread.

Despite these limitations, Larson has constructed an adaptation worthy of the source material. Occasionally, the reduced nature of the novel makes Meg out to be a little too whiny and Charles Wallace out to be a little too much of a know-it-all, but overall the portrayal of each character is very true to the original novel. Larson's panels flow consistently and speed up the enjoyment of the book, while her characters are drawn with a charm that children and young adult readers will love.

Not overly familiar with the graphic novel format, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I would term it a visual interpretation of an abridged version of the original. The line drawings and page layouts were mostly effective, and the illustrator conveyed the characters’ emotions simply but recognizably. She did her best to stay engaged with the themes and incorporated some of the most significant dialog. But the limitations of the format really only provide the reader with a superficial experience. Yes, you get the gist of the sci-fi/fantasy action and the essential moral of the story, but very little of the depth and nuance of the author’s message. I’m not quite sure why anyone would want to short-change themselves by taking a short cut through such a classic story.

I tried to like it but I really don’t like time travel/dimensional travel books over all. The characters were really depressing, I got the self love story but I don’t enjoy reading characters who spend the whole book hating themselves. The art was pretty and I might try to read the prose novel later I really just wanted to hit 200 before the year ended. I do want to see the movie though because it looks awesome.

I read a lot of graphic novels - both originals and adaptations from books I've read. Often I'm quite happy with graphic novel adaptations, but in this case, I was extremely disappointed. For one thing, the graphic novel version of A Wrinkle in Time changes the point of view to first person. That completely changes the feel and perspective of the original really well-written book into something a lot less impressive and more tween-fic. And obviously it changes the writing, as well, to something not as well-crafted or as expressive. Personally I would have rather read an abridged version of the original, using parts of the author's original text.

The art is rudimentary, and while I've read graphic novels where a rudimentary style worked fine, I found the art here lacking in subtlety or nuance, the characters lacking in a feeling of unique personality. Also perhaps worth mentioning is that the first pages, while a reader might be trying to get involved with the story and the characters, is mostly blue with no coloration. Perhaps the colorist was thinking of the black and white beginning to the 1939 Wizard of Oz, but the blue panels didn't have that feeling to me. To add to that, the flashbacks are blue and faded a bit to give you that flashback feeling. I can't see that appealing to younger readers.

The bottom line for me is that this graphic novel version of A Wrinkle in Time lacks the magic of the original novel both visually and regards the writing. I am surprised at the number of high ratings, but obviously some people really enjoyed this. I suggest checking the sample, then deciding if this was for you.

I thought it was a good story. The illustrations are done well. But I wish that there had been more color. On the back of the book was a blurb from James Patterson that talked about it being colorful and I'm wondering what version he saw because the illustrations are black, blue and white. It is a quick read but just left me kind of...eh.

I loved this book and all subsequent books I read of Madeline L'Engle's in my teen years (and beyond). And having the book in graphic novel form added a whole additional dimension to the story for me. I loved this book even more in graphic novel form and highly recommend for everyone. At the end of my one sitting read through the graphic novel I wondered if this is in Heaven's Library too. Hope Larson has produced a work of immense beauty and I am enriched by her work.

This is a graphic novel adaptation of Madeline L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. In this first book of the Time quintet, the audience is introduced to the Murray family. Meg – the eldest Murray child – is called to an adventure through space and time along with her brother Charles Wallace and her love interest Calvin O’Keefe. Although these three are assisted in their mission to find Meg's missing father by a triumvirate of otherworldly women, it is only Meg who is capable of saving them all in the end. Fifty years after this tale’s original publication, Larson extends it via her duo-tone blue wash renderings. This re-imagining brings a new dimension to an old classic that is sure to warm the hearts of existing fans but unlikely to attract a new following. In general, Hope’s adaption of the novel is fairly well done; although, it has occasional lapses which seem hollow and underdeveloped. In addition, the protagonist’s tendency to be awkward, riddled with angst, and obnoxiously ego-centric might repulse older, or more advanced, readers who seek a sleek, sophisticated hero. Furthermore, the heavy use of archetypes and tropes is best suited for a tween audience for whom their employ is still novel. In short, bearing in mind these caveats, I can only recommend its addition to a collection with reservations.

Read this with my 7-year-old son over the span of a few weeks. Initially I did the reading, but by the end he wouldn't let me read! When we hit the last few pages I burst into tears. This was one of my favorite books as a kid and thanks to my faulty memory it was like experiencing the entire thing anew with my son. The graphic novel was a perfect introduction to the story for him - now I'm on the store getting ready to order the quintet of full-length novels so we can read them all!

We enjoyed it. My seven year old and myself read it together, I am happy to say it was his first chapter book that he read mostly. The graphic illustrations were different in style from other comics. They were enough to keep him entertained, but were not that overbearing.

Who should read this book?

Anyone who read the novel when they were young and would like a refreshing new take on the book. Or anyone who hasn't read the book, and likes things to be more visual.

Favorite passage:

I'm not alone anymore! Do you realize what that means to me? There hasn't been anybody I could talk to. Sure, I can function on the same level as everybody else--I can hold myself down--but it isn't me.

My subjective experience of the book:

I originally read "A Wrinkle in Time" a long time ago. When I saw a graphic novel adaptation of the book at the library I knew that I had to check it out. It didn't disappoint. Not only was it a great visual experience but it reminded me of all the things I'd loved about the book when I first read it. This is a quick, beautiful read, and worth your time.

As a die-hard fan of L'Engle and A Wrinkle in Time, I was somewhat apprehensive when I learned that there was going to be a graphic novel made of the beloved classic. I will admit to being suspicious of graphic novels in general, especially ones created from stories I love. However, this particular version was a pleasant surprise for me.

On the one hand, no illustrations can do what a person's imagination can. It was a little distressing to see drastically different imaginings of the characters that I have had such clear visions of for many years. It took me the longest to get used to Calvin, though Meg and Charles Wallace weren't easy either. And I believe that IT suffered quite a bit from being drawn. After all, emotional words can render a giant brain sinister and terrifying, while a picture of a brain is pretty much a picture of a brain.

Of course, the illustrations were also hampered by L'Engle's descriptive style which, when touching on fantastic or spiritual things, depends very heavily on the indescribable. In this respect, she is a great deal like C.S. Lewis, another author whose work I deeply enjoy.

But really, I think most Wrinkle fans would have trouble disliking this rendition. The illustrations are clever and well-done, the dialogue is faithful to the original, and Calvin's face when Mrs. Whatsit transforms on Uriel is absolutely priceless. I think the book was worth the price for that expression alone.

So, while it will of course never be quite like my own beloved vision of A Wrinkle in Time, this graphic novel will provide enjoyable freshness to fans, and who knows? Maybe it will help introduce a few others into the fold. That would be something to celebrate, because I believe that everyone, whatever their age, deserves to go to Uriel and Camazotz at least once in their lives.

<b>The difference between the original and the graphic novel:</b> The graphic novel hits you over the head with the spiritual/religious elements of the original whereas the original was more vague and left more to the imagination.

I guess my review here is really just a comparison of the graphic to the novel. The story is followed pretty closely, so don't pick this up expected an adaptation, or much deviation from the original, which for me I really liked. In fact I preferred this one as I felt the graphics made it easier to follow the slightly odd storyline, and the visual dimension worked well with the wrinkly time theme.

This graphic novel version encouraged me to read the original novel. Isn't that what a great adapted graphic novel does? For those who say this book does not compare to the original, I think you are remembering the novel through childhood-colored glasses. I read the original immediately after the graphic novel and I was pleasantly surprised by how well this version adapts the original.

The artwork really changes the way I look at a Wrinkle in Time. Though I wish the artwork would be in full color. I feel like a citizen from "The Giver" who ilegally stole a book fron The Giver and was reading it.

This book is not worth ten bucks. There is no plot, and the fraction of a plot there is is very predictable, the book has no humor or action, the characters are unrealistic, and the book is extremely overpriced.
I want a refund.

The book is truly an exciting gem. I'm reading the novel next. I have chosen the graphic version since there will be another movie made about it.
I do recommend the book for Ages 10-14. A Wrinkle in Time expresses such a positive message.

Terrific version of an incredible book
Great for children ages 8-12; even if they've read the original, the pictures bring it to life even more.
Suggest buying this with "When You Reach Me" by Rebecca Stead

Does NOT display correctly or well on a Kindle. This is a problem for most children, whom this book happens to be written for. It is NOT compatible with the PC Kindle reader, as in it will NOT even download. For a $10 kindle read this is a bit absurd. Item returned. Though this is a wonderful book.

This adapdation of Madion L'Engle's sci-fi classic is a tad bit rough and could've used another draft or two to tighten up the narrative cohesion. Still, Hope Larson's clean art style is crisp and elegant as always and its still worth reading through if you were a fan of the original book just to see her visual take on this memorable tale. If this is your first time with the book start off with the original novel and come back to this graphic adaptation for best results.

I've been a Madeleine L'Engle fan for most of my life and A Wrinkle In Time is definitely my favorite of her works, so I was a little bit wary of how the graphic novel would turn out. Thankfully, my concerns were overblown! The graphic novel is extremely faithful to the source material and is beautifully drawn, I hope the rest of the time quintet is soon to follow!

I enjoyed this book and I am sure anyone who knows a young adult, is a young adult, or was a young adult will enjoy this book too. It is a beautiful story with a beautiful artstyle to match! Why did I rate it as a four star (I like it) instead of a five star (I love it) you ask? Because at times it can be a little boring and predictable, but those times are rare and few in between.

this book was amazing! it was not my favorite but it was the kind of book you can not put down. even though this book was written a long time ago it was very futuristic. i for sure recommend this book for anyone who needs a well written interesting book, that can keep you wanting more.

This version of "Wrinkle" should carry a cautionary warning label "Thus format is not suitable up be read on a Kindle or iPhone." Reading the text from the speech bubbles above the characters heads meant it took me 10 times as long to read one short paragraph. Maybe it would work better on a larger device.

I had heard reviews of the novel that described it as a classic and difficult to put down. I bought the graphic version for a young person who is not reading that much. I previewed it.

I was constantly wondering what the characters were talking about or experiencing. There are too many magical characters and mysterious powers for it to be a serious moral story. I felt that the graphics were just filling pages without filling in the story.

I suppose I'll donate it to the local library - maybe someone will get more out of it. I definitely don't want to give it to child I bought it for. I don't want to discourage her reading better books.

A Wrinkle in Time
by, Hope Larson

Do like graphic novels and sci-fi books? than read A Wrinkle In Time by Hope Larson. Meg, Charles and Calvin goes on a advenchers to save Mr. Murray a scientist from an evil darkness. later in the story a creature from the light comes to help them. what happens next you find out.

The main character is meg she has brown hair and she is tall and nice. She also wears glasses. Meg is bullied in school a lot. Meg has a brother his name is Charles he is small and he has blond hair. he is very skiny to and he is not afraid of death. He finds a new friend he is named Calvin he has dark red hair and he is the oldest. He is smart and very wise.

This is not the best book that i’ve read but it is ok. i would not recommend to most people. Why i say that is because it doesn't make sense. I’m only a fifth grader but i know what books are good and what books are bad, and this one is mostly bad. So i don't recommend it to most people.

I don't know why we feel the need to make comic books out of classic literature.
It is an insult to the original story-telling; it is an insult to the reader and this book is no exception. It allows for no imagination, no interpretation other than that of the illustrator. I work for a large school system and it saddens me to no end when good money is spent on comic book adaptations such as this and other children's classics such as the Little Prince. We continue to dumb-down our standards when we should hold our students to higher expectations.

My 11 years old loved it. She said the graphics were very good and that the writer managed to put in all the important details of the story, even though he had to make it shorter because it's a graphic novel (she read the actual book and the graphic novel version). She said it was a great purchase and she enjoyed it a lot.

I am an ESOL teacher (English for speakers of other languages). I had an eighth grader who was not on reading level and this was assigned reading in her English class. I got this to help her read and understand the story. Every kid that saw it wanted it and the English teacher took it from her for a couple of days because he wanted to read it. One of the instructional coaches saw it and wanted to order a class set for next year. I'm currently reading it with my 8 year old at home and she loves it.

This was fantastic!!! I have a problem getting my 11 year old grandson to read. He was assigned this book in school and when I saw the graphic novel I was hoping it might help. Yes!!! He read the entire book over a few days and did quite well on his tests about the story. First graphic novel I've purchased and now I've found a way to get him to read. It may be like reading a comic book but at least he's now reading!

One of my favorite novels that inspired a lifetime of reading. I bought it for my son, hoping to inspire the same. He currently prefers reading about militant cats arranged in a tribal system, but I have high hopes that this will be his next big thing.

Great tween graphic novel - illustrations are not my daughter's favorite and it is monochromatic - black white and blue and its a little bit straining on the eyes to read it for too long but over all good

This book is great, but you can borrow it on Hoopla Digital for FREE. I defenetly recomend this book, but not on the store. At the lbrary, Overdrive, Hoopla Digital, enen at the book store this is cheaper.
