PRAISE FOR THE GRAPHIC NOVEL EDITION:
"Although the format can make literature more accessible, it can also, in some cases, lend an air of hipness to a work as well . . . Overall these books are fun adaptations of great literature . . . a good choice for the library or media center both to grow a graphic novel collection and to bolster the literature collection."--VOYA
"This adaptation of the 19th-century classic is faithful to the original story, in which Black Beauty recounts his experiences with both kind and cruel owners. The novel's episodic structure translates easily to graphic format . . . The artwork is detailed and realistic . . . Purchase where the original novel circulates, or where the same can be said for graphic-novel adaptations of the classics."-School Library Journal
"Sewell's classic Victorian tale is retold in this graphic-novel version, which preserves the syntax and vocabulary of the original text . . . The scenes and shadowing fit the mid-nineteenth-century English setting, and the various horses are lively and easy to distinguish as they bound, strain, and browse their way through assorted plot twists."--Booklist
