Wrinkle in Time: The Graphic Novel
Madeleine L'Engle (2012), 392 pages
Illustrated by Hope Larson
Audience: 4th Grade - 8th Grade
On a dark and stormy night, three strange ladies from another world carry away Meg and Charles Wallace Murray, and their friend Calvin O'Keefe. They must try to rescue Meg and Charles' father, who dissappeared while doing top secret government research. They travel through space and time by way of a tesseract, which is a wrinkle in time. Fans of the original story won't be disappointed by this faithful adaptation. The two-toned illustrations bring the story to life, and gracefully portray the characters.

Adam's father is a video game designer and he has created an interface that lets you control the game by reading your thought waves. This new technology is very expensive to develop so he has been moving from company to company as the money runs out. He has left for a few days to work with a new company, but after two weeks he hasn't returned and Adam has only gotten a couple of text messages from him. Then one morning Adam's apartment is attacked by a huge, invisible T-Rex that takes him prisoner. This monster was created by the company that now seems to be holding Adam's dad prisoner. Is the creature trying to help Adam or is he looking for revenge? Z-rex by Steve Cole is the first book in The Hunting series.
