Customer Reviews

Great graphic adaptation of a classic

My 8 year old is getting into graphic classics this year. He really likes these; he can read one in an afternoon. What's funny though, he can give you at least a Cliff Notes type review (telling me they have hit all the high notes in this very brief graphic version), and it's really sparked his interest in classic literature. Oliver Twist was particularly well done in this series.
