Review
“Know somebody who hasn't met Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who or Mrs Which? Larson's colorful panels bring Madeline L'Engle's brilliant time-travel favorite to life in an exciting new way. This is page-turning eye candy of the highest order.” ―James Patterson
“This adaptation is fabulous for presenting a fresh vision to those familiar with the original, but it's so true to the story's soul that even those who've never read it will come away with a genuine understanding of L'Engle's ideas and heart.” ―Booklist, starred review
“The memorable story of Meg Murry, Charles Wallace Murry, and Calvin O'Keefe's adventure across space and time is conveyed with all the intellectual and emotional impact of the original novel.” ―BCCB
“Larson has remained true to the story, preserving the original chapter format and retaining L'Engle's voice. Black-and-white artwork is accented with blue, echoing the original cover color.” ―School Library Journal

About the authors

Madeleine was born on November 29th, 1918, and spent her formative years in New York City. Instead of her school work, she found that she would much rather be writing stories, poems and journals for herself, which was reflected in her grades (not the best). However, she was not discouraged.
At age 12, she moved to the French Alps with her parents and went to an English boarding school where, thankfully, her passion for writing continued to grow. She flourished during her high school years back in the United States at Ashley Hall in Charleston, South Carolina, vacationing with her mother in a rambling old beach cottage on a beautiful stretch of Florida Beach.
She went to Smith College and studied English with some wonderful teachers as she read the classics and continued her own creative writing. She graduated with honors and moved into a Greenwich Village apartment in New York. She worked in the theater, where Equity union pay and a flexible schedule afforded her the time to write! She published her first two novels during these years—A Small Rain and Ilsa—before meeting Hugh Franklin, her future husband, when she was an understudy in Anton Chekov’s The Cherry Orchard. They married during The Joyous Season.
She had a baby girl and kept on writing, eventually moving to Connecticut to raise the family away from the city in a small dairy farm village with more cows than people. They bought a dead general store, and brought it to life for 9 years. They moved back to the city with three children, and Hugh revitalized his professional acting career.
As the years passed and the children grew, Madeleine continued to write and Hugh to act, and they to enjoy each other and life. Madeleine began her association with the Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine, where she was the librarian and maintained an office for more than thirty years. After Hugh’s death in 1986, it was her writing and lecturing that kept her going. She lived through the 20th century and into the 21st and wrote over 60 books. She enjoyed being with her friends, her children, her grandchildren, and her great grandchildren.

Hope Larson is the New York Times-bestselling, Eisner award-winning author and illustrator of numerous comics and graphic novels for younger readers. A native of Asheville, North Carolina, she lived in Chicago, Canada, and Los Angeles before returning to her hometown, where she currently resides with her family.

This book is not word for word. The editing is concise, very fluid and more up to date in many ways, making it much easier for younger readers to comprehend. If you are having a young reader use this as a companion to an audio book it will not work out and they will easily become lost!

The story of Meg and Charles along with their friend Calvin is a thrilling and also it is an enchanting read. It very quickly casts it spell and before you know it you are a hundred pages in.
I blame the eyes myself, the illustrator Hope Larson has done an amazing job and each character, most especially Meg has the most expressive eyes, really beautiful to be honest. It is illustrated in blues and blacks to tremendous effect.
Now I am presuming that you may have read the original but like me if you haven't, it is the story of a girl and her younger brother plus their friend who find themselves travelling through time and space to try and find their father. Along the way they meet some unusual characters and see some incredible things but they never lose sight of what they need to find.
A wonderful read which I am planning on re-visiting with a read of the traditional version.
Have you read this and if so what did you think?
