What changes when a book is adapted into a graphic novel or comic? How about when it's made into a live-action movie? Does the soundtrack for the movie match the feelings in the book? Beloved fantasy and science fiction book, A Wrinkle in Time (part of the Time Quintet by Madeline L'Engle), has been adapted into many different forms of media over the years.
For a fun comparison activity:
Read Madeline L'Engle's A Wrinkle in Time book, check out the graphic novel illustrated by Hope Larson, and then check out the 2018 Disney movie adaptation and answer these questions:
Which did you like best?
What are the biggest differences between these adaptations?
How did the characters look and sound in your head when you read the books?
How did the appearances of the settings in the graphic novel and the movie differ?
Think about what changes you would make to the story and what you would keep the same (and feel free to tell us your ideas in the comments below).
