Translating a book to another medium is
always difficult, but Hope Larson's graphic novelization of A Wrinkle
in Time retains most of the scenes and dialog. While I wouldn't
recommend it to anyone who hasn't read the book (everybody needs a
chance to visualize the book on their own), Hope's adaptation will
make the text more approachable to visual learners and L'Engle fans.
Black and white illustrations are given added depth with the use of a
pale blue. I was intrigued by the way Faith highlights Meg's
emotional arc in her adaptation. But no matter who you are, you're
sure to find a plot, character or mood detail interpreted in a way
you'd never considered and it is this that makes the adaptation worth
reading.
