Great Graphic Novels for Teens 2013
Through the use of blue, black and white illustrations, author Hope Larson retells Madeleine L'Engle's famous story A Wrinkle in Time. This is the story of Meg Murry and her own coming of age journey. She and her family do not fit in and her father has been missing for several years. She and her brother along with an acquaintance, Calvin O'Keefe, are sent on a fantastical journey through space to save her father and fight the darkness. Through this journey, Meg discovers more about herself and her family and finds strength she didn't know she had.
I don't know that I have ever actually read A Wrinkle in Time, although I am familiar with the characters of Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who, and Mrs. Which. I loved the telling of this story through a graphic novel. This is a great way to allow students to read a classic story in a modern way.
