Adapted by Dallas Middaugh.
Illustrated by
Niklas Asker.
This effective graphic novel adapts DuPrau's popular middle-grade dystopic adventure. Middaugh smartly selects dialogue that brings characters to life, while Asker's figure designs, muted tones, and deft panel shifts suit the spirit of exploration, the gritty atmosphere, and the tale's growing tension. This incarnation will please fans of--and invite new readers into--Ember's enticing universe.
