From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| From the Graphic Spin series, which adapts classic fairy tales into graphic format, comes this retelling of the long-tressed girl locked into a tower by an evil witch. The text does an adequate job of leading readers through the tale, but it would behoove them to be familiar with the story (if, indeed, there are any who aren’t) before engaging in this bare-bones account. What will attract children to this offering is Timmins’ highly visceral artwork—equal parts frightening and exciting—which captures the original appeal of the Grimm Brothers’ tale. The hollow-eyed and lederhosen-attired characters look as if they have been lifted from an idyllic Bavarian scene and dropped into a nightmarish shadow world dominated by the witch’s evil intent. But the overall scariness is leavened by some dark visual humor and the ultimate happy ending. Although this is for a younger audience than Shannon Hale’s Rapunzel’s Revenge (2008), the two still make an interesting comparison of just how wildly different a story can become when draped in divergent atmospherics. Grades 2-4. |
Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Of the four children's graphic novels from Capstone I've read I think the books illustrated by Jeffrey Stewart Timmins are my favorite. What a beautiful mix of dark, haunting imagery created with the soft touch of watercolor. The way he creates his characters are so interesting, I especially liked the Witch in Rapunzel. The only thing I would have changed would have been to have the speech bubbles and text also handdone instead of computer generated, I feel like it took away from the magic of the illustration and sort of sticks out like a sore thumb.
The actual story was a great rendition of the fairy tale I remember. I just love that witch! And as with the other books from the Graphic Spin series you can find a glossary, history, discussions and writing prompts in the back of the book. The reading level of Rapunzel is 2.5 or L. This would be a great introduction to the fable for children. |
