The story has come to life in another wonderful way! I really enjoyed the illustrations and it was a quick read.

I loved the first book of this series and this graphic novel did it justice. I loved the story, even with little text, I felt like nothing important had been left out. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the artwork. Not saying it's bad, just not my favorite style of artwork. I can't wait to continue reading this series.

March 31, 2015: A seemingly ordinary boy realizes that the crazy ramblings of his dying grandfather are true and sets off to find the house and children of his stories. Finding them, he turns out to be just as peculiar as his grandfather and needs to help protect his new found friends from the monsters. Cliffhanger ending leaving them needing to defeat the baddies but with little more than their wits to do so.
Pleasant, clear and colourful artwork that suits the story in this graphic novel well. Includes a preview of the continuing novel.
Perfectly suitable for young adult or adult readers, particularly fans of fantasy stories, historical fiction, or stories of teenagers saving the day.

After reading the dark, sinister, but beautiful book, I wanted to read the graphic novel. I both agree and disagree with others who said this graphic novel lost some of the dark, severe situations depicted within the original novel. In some sense, the narrator of the original novel gives you a lot of introspective thoughts that make the situations have more gravity and real life perspective. Where I disagree is, in a graphic novel that's conveyed through the art. I definitely feel this perspective was illustrated well by the artwork and dialogue.
It's condensed from the novel for obvious reasons, and so people need to take more time to really absorb the art shown to see every detail. Seeing these illustrations of events lets you play this in your head with actual visual reference. I think the arc they used for it, as well as the art and dialogue were a great read to add to the original novel. My only advice is to read the original novel first and let this be an add on from that.

I actually liked this one much better than the original novel itself.
So I just read this in like a half hour. It was really fun and all, but the concept of the story just didn't do it for me which is disappointing. It wasn't bad at all, but time-travel always annoys and confuses me and I didn't feel a connection to the characters at all. Also, things weren't explained enough and I wish it would've been scarier.
A nicely done, though necessarily truncated, version of the longer novel.
