A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel | |
A graphic novel adaptation of Madeleine L'Engle's ground-breaking science fiction and fantasy classic, soon to be a major motion picture.
The world already knows Meg and Charles Wallace Murry, Calvin O'Keefe, and the three Mrs―Who, Whatsit, and Which―the memorable and wonderful characters who fight off a dark force and save our universe in the Newbery Award–winning classic A Wrinkle in Time. But in 50 years of publication, the book has never been illustrated. Now, Hope Larson takes the classic story to a new level with her vividly imagined interpretations of tessering and favorite characters, like the Happy Medium and Aunt Beast. Perfect for delighting old fans and winning over new ones, this graphic novel adaptation is a must-read.
A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L'Engle is soon to be a major motion picture from Disney, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring Storm Reid, Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon and Mindy Kaling.

网友对A Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel的评论
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 book; I didn't make direct comparisons of descriptions and dialog, and that probably made this graphic novel more enjoyable.
Looking at Hope Larson's work, I see that she collaborates on original stories and has others illustrate them. Even though I don't see myself reading Larson again, I would recommend her work to children or young adults. Like "Wrinkle" her other works seem to include the important questions that good juvenile and young adult literature should ask.

A note about reading this on Kindle: This is the third graphic novel I have read in an electronic format. One book was a Kindle enhanced version of "Trillium," which had an option that allowed for swiping from frame to frame instead of page to page. There was not enough opportunity to zooming in on the frames to make the reading easier. In addition, the material was presented one page at a time instead of in a full-spread format to see opposing pages at one time. This prohibiting seeing splash art as it was created by the artists.
There was an improvement in "Will 'o the Wisp," published in Adobe Digital Editions format. There was an opportunity to zoom in as much as desired, but I found bouncing back and forth between full-page mode to see the art and zoom mode to be able to read the words was somewhat cumbersome.
However, I would have loved to have had either zoom option with "Wrinkle." This Kindle book version did not let me zoom in on any of the individual frames, and so I actually had difficulty reading the text at all. If I hadn't already had much of the story and dialog memorized from frequent reading of the L'Engle's book, I would not have been able to read it, and would have asked for my money back.
I will hesitate reading other comic books and graphic novels in electronic format in the future, unless I know that I will have the ability to read the text in addition to seeing the art in double-page format as intended by the authors and artists.
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 is when Meg mentions Calvin's eyes being blue. The whole book is blue, but when I looked at Calvin in that panel, they looked brighter. It was beautiful. Overall, I feel the art was exceptionally faithful to how I imagined the beautiful and fearsome aspects of the book. Like others, I found IT to be particularly enjoyable. I also want to stress how much I loved Mrs. Who in this version. She never resonated with me the way Whatsit did as a child, but as an adult, I've found Who to be more my speed. After all, communicating with the words of others -- It truly is easier sometimes, is it not?
Perhaps I would not love this version as much were I not a lifelong fan of the book. I can certainly understand that, and I do suggest reading the novel itself first if you have not before and are an adult. For children though, this is a lovely introduction to a lovely author.
I originally read the novel several decades ago, and consider it one of a handful of books I read when young that shaped who I became as an adult reader. When I was assigned this graphic adaptation as part of a graduate class on adolescent literature, I approached it with a great deal of trepidation - just the idea of a graphic novelization of such a loved novel from my past disturbed me greatly. So I was pleasantly suprised to find this adaption to be extraordinarily faithful to the source material. It is obvious to me that the artist held as much appreciation for the novel as I did, and that appreciation shows in every panel, as well as in the overall presentation of the material. Well done! And a big thanks to Hope Larson for showing such love and respect to Ms. L'Engle's original words.
An excellent graphic version of the classic novel. I wish it was more colorful, but it is beautifully drawn. It is an exciting adventure of three kids traveling through time and space, explaining the science along the way, with the help of three magical old ladies to rescue a missing man. If only SOME CHARACTERS could manage that...
