3.5 stars.

Similarly to the original story, this book just won't stop tugging at your heartstrings. The artwork truly augments the story, especially towards the end, when Tom sleeps on the floor of Hatty's room and when they go ice skating on the river to Ely. So poignant and evocative, this graphic novel made me want to go back and read the original again. And then read the graphic novel again. And then read the original again. You get the picture.

Cute story of a boy who finds a magical garden outside his aunt and uncle's flat, but only at midnight. I was not familiar with the originally story, so this was my first exposure and I loved it. The illustrations are lovely and I can't imagine the story without them.

I probably would have preferred to read the novel but my library only had the graphic version in E-Book

4.5*
Tom's midnight garden is one of my favourite books so reading it in graphic novel form made me so happy and I loved it felt so cosy and nostalgic. The artwork was beautiful and really fit the childlikeness of the story and also the book as a whole did such a good job of conveying the magic and beauty of the garden and it was so, so good.

The only thing is I felt some of the earlier scenes between Hatty and Tom (when Hatty is younger) where condensed too much and I wanted more of them. That being said, I adored this version of one of my faves and I will definitely come back to it again whenever I need a super short comfort read.

Fun, magical, and emotional!
