The Graveyard Book is becoming a graphic novel
Who knew that Tenniel made an Alice chessboard? If you act quickly, you can buy a reproduction....
I'm excited to hear that The Graveyard Book will be a graphic novel - I think the story will make a great transition to that format. Thanks as always for posting this!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Middle grade needs more press and I love sci-fi/fantasy.
