If any modern YA classic deserves the graphic novel treatment, it is this one. Not only does it make complete sense seeing as Melinda is so tied to her art, but it also makes this book more welcoming for anybody who hasn't read it before. The stark illustration works so well with Anderson's wonderful prose. Especially in this day and age, you should read this book
