A Wrinkle In Time The Graphic Novel

Larson, H. (2012). A wrinkle in time the graphic novel. NY: Margaret Ferguson Books.

Meg Murray is not happy about her life and misses her father. The town is rather hard on her and her family and rude about her and her brother Charles. They don't mess with their twins. They meet Calvin on the way to the haunted house to meet Mrs. Whosit. They find out about the dark place and tussling. They end up on Camazotz and find their father. Unfortunately IT has imprisoned their dad and taken over Charles' mind over. They end up on another planet and heal Meg so that she can go back and save her brother. She is not sure how but she goes anyway. She is not sure how to save her brother but then realizes the one thing that the IT doesn't have is love and that is what she has with her family and all that she holds dear. She saves her brother and they make it home.



 This is the well known story by Madeleine L'Engle in a graphic novel format. This was a very fast read of a classic story. I could see how this would get kids to read this novel and keep them interested. This would be great for 7-9 grade students to read and then compare to Madeleine
L'Engles original story.

The theme of this story is that loves wins.  Meg doesn't know how she is going to save her brother from the IT, then she finally realizes that she has something that IT never has experiences, Love.
