When I saw Wonder, there was a trailer for A wrinkle in time and it looks really good plus it has an amazing cast so I was like I need to read this before it comes out.
This was an odd book and I am glad that I read in the graphic novel format because I’m not sure if I would have stuck through and read it all if I read it in its original publication.
I did not like Meg. I thought she was super whiny and I wanted to slap her. Also, what the heck was up with IT? A brain? So weird. I feel like I read another book or saw a tv or movie with that same thing happening.

An excellent companion to the book. It allows you to soar through the pages with artwork that still provides an adequate depth. I personally read this prior to the new movie coming out and felt like I was right at home with my familiar friends. This was my favorite book as a child. This book taught me that truly loving something, means accepting that it is separate from you and different than you. Quotes that stuck out to me this time around:
“We can't take any credit for our talents. It's how we use them that counts.”
“We do not know what things look like. We know what things ARE like. It must be a very limiting thing,this seeing. -Aunt Beast”
You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you.

Sadly, it didn't carry the magic of the novel.

I don't think that this book is bad, but it didn't work as well as the original text for me. I went in with very high expectations, though.

I loved A Wrinkle in Time as a child, but this adaptation fell flat for me. I think the graphics were good, but the color scheme threw me and the characters lacked depth. Hopefully children will still read the original first.

I didn't read the original novel until I was an adult, shortly before I saw the movie, which I liked better but can't remember why. Larson's adaptation is solid, but still didn't make me like the original story nor any of its main characters.

The dialogue is dated but the artist did an imaginative job of bringing sci fi concepts to life.
