Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

*Starred Review* Commemorating its fiftieth anniversary, L’Engle’s classic couldn’t have scored a better talent to adapt its story into comics form. Larson produces high-quality coming-of-age stories featuring female protagonists, with the most recent (Mercury, 2010) even including a fantasy element to highlight the tale’s emotional stakes. She dives wholeheartedly into L’Engle’s seminal epic, chronicling the journey of Meg Murry, her preternaturally intelligent younger brother, Charles, and their friend Calvin O’Keefe, crossing distant worlds to save the Murry’s, lost patriarch. Guided by three grandmotherly guardian angels, they navigate the dangers of a mind-controlled world fallen under the influence of a cosmic force of pure evil. Larson has miraculously preserved the power of the original’s social and religious themes, as well as its compelling emotional core, while staying true to her distinctive voice and aesthetic. Her soft-lined, large-eyed characters are a modern exemplar of classical American cartooning, and the metallic blue coating of the pages evokes both the timelessness of the story and the remoteness of alien worlds. 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. Grades 6-12. --Jesse Karp

<3 💗Absolutely LOVE it❣️❣️❣️ We have a 7, 9, 11, & 15 year old all reading it with us and THEY ALL LOVE IT❣️ Wish I would’ve bought this sooner‼️

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!

Pair with full novel for classroom use

Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2018

I am so excited to use this book with my special education class. I am actually going to read the full novel while projecting the graphic novel on the Promethean board so the students can have a visual support. We will also compare and contrast the novel, graphic novel, and new movie. I also had the school order several paperbacks so the students have a book in their hands. I haven't done this before but have high hopes. I decided to do it this way because the text in the graphic novel assumes background knowledge that my students may not have. Also, there is a subtle difference between in drawing style and color between actual action and Meg's internal dialog. I have lost the thread a few times myself and am carefully making notes so I can explain what's happening to my students.

Reviewed in the United States on July 8, 2016

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.

Great Adaptation (so I hear at least)

Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017

Bought this as a gift for an 9-year old girl. I wanted to buy her a book that would nurture her budding scientific mind, but was afraid the print version would be too difficult for her at a young age -- though I really wasn't sure, I just remembered reading it as a pre-teen. I played it safe and got her the graphic novel in the hopes it would turn her to the print version as she got older. She loved this book. Her father, who was a fan of the original, also sincerely loved this graphic novel. It ended up being a great gift.

Well Done!

Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2014

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.

Wonderful read with gorgeous illustrations

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 6, 2016

Ok I have never read the original non illustrated version of this classic tale but in the last year I have started taking an interest in graphic novels and this seemed like a good choice. I have always wanted to read it and it was full of cool illustrations.

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?

A good, faithful adaptation of a classic story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 5, 2015

It's been quite a while since I read the original novel but as far as I can remember, this adaptation stays very faithful to the story. It certainly claims to do so in the fairly extensive end-notes. It's nicely illustrated in a quirky style that seems to fit the story very well, with black, white and shades of blue.
