What a beautiful tribute to Natalie Babbitt's original publication of Tuck Everlasting! The artwork in this graphic novel is quite simply stunning.
I think that this version is a wonderful edition/companion to the original novel.
Granted, it has been probably twenty years since I have read the original, I think that I would recommend first reading the standard novel before reading the graphic novel (but highly recommend also reading this graphic). The graphic does closely follow the original text (but I do think that a bit more(different?) depth/context can be given from the text) and the world is truly brought to life by K. Woodman-Maynard's artwork.
A beautiful, easy read for an adult looking back on some favorite childhood stories & a great companion/introduction for younger readers first interacting with the story.
Thank you NetGalley and Farrar Straus Giroux (imprint of Macmillan) for a digital eARC of this title!
