Believe it or not, I never read this as a kid. It freaked me out a little bit, because it's eerily real in some ways. However, I was happy with the ending and I enjoyed the graphic interpretation. It was really well executed.

It is one of my favorite books. Hands down. So it was joyful to read it in this format created by someone who was impacted as I was from the book. It also has given me a lovely way to excite my two boys about a cherished book/memory.
Really enjoyed reading this book with my daughter. The graphic novel helped bring the story to life and keep her engaged. I also want to read the regular version to compare them.
2.5 stars, rounding up
I liked the art work, and I think Larson did a good job. I think, though, that L'Engle's A WRINKLE IN TIME just isn't very translatable to a visual medium because so much of what makes it awesome is the language. Though some of Larson's scenes let the language pop (because it was dialogue), I missed the language the rest of the time. ...more

I'm not sure how to rate this. Not really engaging enough to hold interest but the graphic novel format was a very quick read.
I like graphic novels however the underlying story here was a bit twee. Perhaps not for me.

I loved this graphic novel of a book I loved as a child. The illustrations were striking and imparted a lot of emotional information. The story was powerful and mysterious.
What a great adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time. The story flowed well and kept me enthralled just like the original book. I think this is a great way to introduce kids to the wonderful world of A Wrinkle in Time.
I need to reread the original, and because it was imprinted on me so powerfully when I was 12, nothing else can measure up. But this was still pretty good.
I'm pretty lukewarm about this. Mostly it made me want to reread A Wrinkle In Time.

Still a great novel but I'm not sure I'm on board with the art.
