Classic Graphic Novels

The Tempest
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.

Harry Potter fans will find much to like in The Tempest, Shakespeare's last play and one of his finest. Set on an enchanted island after a conjured storm brings shipwreck survivors to its shores, the story deals with themes of rivalry, betrayal, loyalty, survival, retribution, forgiveness, reconciliation, and the healing power of love.

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
