Tom's Midnight Garden: A Graphic Adaptation of the Philippa Pearce Classic

(3) 4-6 Adapted by Edith. Illustrated by Edith. This carefully crafted comics edition of Pearce's classic novel is true to the original story and tone--even if some of the book's most dramatic moments seem too muted (the skating-to-Ely scene; the Tom-meets-Mrs.-Bartholomew scene). The art itself is beautiful, with an effective contrast between the drabness of Tom's days and the lushness of his nightly adventures with Hatty in the garden.
