A Wrinkle in Time: The Visual Storytelling of Madeleine L'Engle's Classic Tale

c.m.: My 9 year old niece loved the book and has already read it 3 times. I would advise to make sure the child likes graphic art books. Otherwise this may not be for them and it would be better to buy the regular book

Miss M. Robinson: My 13year old son LOVED this version of the book! Not 'dumbed-down' in its conversion to graffic novel at all but made more appealing to a younger generation.

Luis O.: Great read I wasn’t expecting it being written as a comic in it’s entirety. I was expecting an illustrated novel. But very captivating

M. E. (Murphy) Waggoner: Madeliene L'Engle's "Wrinkle in Time" was one of the few young adult books that I actually read when I was a young adult. I loved it then and have read it repeatedly in the past 40 years. My current passion for graphic novels and adaptations led me to this version by Hope Larson.

Unlike some graphic novel adaptations, Larson had to abridge this story to some extent. The other issue I had with this book was that the characters did not appear as I had envisioned them. But the former was a necessity and the latter was a matter of personal interpretation, and neither detracted from the quality of this book.

The adaptation follows the story of Meg and company closely. Larson chose a difficult book to illustrate. Characters such as Aunt Beast and IT might be better left to the imagination. While the art is good, I would have liked it to have used as much color as the cover.

My original intention was to reread L'Engle's version before I read this adaptation, but graphic novels draw me into them and don't let go until I have made it to the last page. It has been at least 10 years since I last read "Wrinkle," and it may be best that I didn't read it right before this...

LL: Near 50 years ago, I won a copy of "A Wrinkle in Time" for having read 57 books over summer vacation. I remember I was half-way through the summer, having spent hours in the library reading (you know.. with my good friends, Henry Huggins, Nancy Drew.. etc) before they told me I could check out books and take them home. Wow! Best summer treat ever! Over the years since, I have read A Wrinkle In Time to my four children, and countless times to myself. I still have the copy with the little typewriter-typed presentation inscription and my picture in the newspaper. I am convinced there is a "Wrinkle In Time".. for how else to explain the vividness of the memories, let alone the fact that I still have this book near 50 years later!
Anyway, I recently got the graphic novel and have been enjoying it immensely! Sure, the characters may look different than I imagined during my readings... but so do any old friends I might now reconnect with. I am reading the condensed words more than studying the pictures anyway. It is like looking through a text version of an old photo album with a few sketches to carry me through the passages. I can't imagine anyone who enjoys the original novel would...

H. A.: I've been a big reader since I was very young. As a small girl, I would voraciously read more or less anything that was placed in front of me, from cereal boxes to a well-loved dictionary. My grandparents loved introducing me to books that my mom loved as a kid, and one of my favorites was A Wrinkle in Time.

I don't think I need to explain the story, but it is one of the best gifts a clever, perhaps slightly strange kid can receive. The book stresses the importance of valuing yourself, both your faults and your strengths. It reminds us that the ways we differ are just as important as the ways we are the same. Perhaps most important for me, it tells us that home is what (and who) we make it. It's just a gorgeous story, and one that other, far more concise folk have summed up.

This adaptation, by the wonderful Hope Larson, is simply fantastic. Much of the language is very much the same as in the original L'Engle, so it has very much the same feel. I'm re-reading the original now, and the first few chapters are more or less the same in tone and feel.

With regards to the art, I am totally charmed! I love how Larson indicates color and movement. A personal favorite...
