Classic Graphic Novels

A Christmas Carol
Published by Lucent/Heinle

Classic Graphic Novels, the new collection from Lucent Books, brings the classics to life for a whole new generation of readers. Designed especially for young fans of the classics, comic book buffs and reluctant readers, this collection utilizes a fresh blend of contemporary storytelling and captivating artwork to entertain, educate and encourage students to return to these stories again and again.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a mean, miserable old man who values money over people, resents the poor and needy, sees no need for kindness, and hates the joy of Christmas. All of this changes one Christmas Eve, when visions of Christmases past, present, and future transform the heartless and despised Scrooge into a benevolent and beloved man.

Review:

"Most useful in a classroom setting, these volumes could serve as introductions to literary classics as well as companion volumes for students benefitting from a modified text."
--School Library Journal, May, 2011
