A review by jwinchell
To Kill a Mockingbird: A Graphic Novel by Harper Lee, Fred Fordham

5.0

This is a fabulous and compelling retelling of Harper Lee’s classic novel. I think it would be a great companion or alternative for readers who need the help of images to make inferences. There were times the art was impressively powerful- like when Tom Robinson stands up in court to reveal his crippled hand, or when Atticus reveals the devastating news about Tom’s fate to his wife. And there were subtle moments too, like when the light coming through the shadows would make patterns on faces and bodies of people talking under big southern trees. There was so much of Lee’s language and a wonderful note about inclusion of the n word. Highly recommended.
