Anne Frank's diary is now a graphic novel--first in the Netherlands, and in other countries later this year.I'll be interested to see how the book translates into a graphic novel--could be a great way to introduce Anne's story to reluctant readers.
Find out more on the Anne Frank Museum website.
I can't picture it because there is so little movement but maybe I haven't seen enough of them to understand the way they work.
ReplyDeleteWhen I first heard about the trend to turn some of the classics into graphic novels, my hackles went up. If it gets those reluctant readers interested, then I'm all for it.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of the classics, but I have read most of the Sandman series (Neil Gaiman, so no big surprise there) and a few others. Good story telling enhanced by the pictures. Sorta like what movies do for a story, only they're snapshots.
Now thinking she should go check out one of said graphic novels.
Oh, and sorry about the World Cup.
World Cup, sigh... I never really liked soccer anyway :-)
ReplyDeleteMy worry of turning books into graphic novels is that the voice gets lost--a strong component particularly in Anne Frank's diary.
I'm not too familiar with graphic novels, though; wish I could get my hands on a copy of this one.
