First Test Graphic Novel: (A Graphic Novel)
First Test Graphic Novel: (A Graphic Novel) | Tamora Pierce
1 post | 1 read
This eagerly awaited graphic novel adaptation of the iconic fantasy novel First Test reimagines the classic knight's tale, but with a twist. In a world not quite ready for her ambition, a determined girl seeks knighthood and finds herself on a mission to prove it. Keladry is the first girl who dares to take advantage of a new rule in her homeland, Tortall--one that allows women to train for knighthood. She knows she's ready for the traditional hazing and grueling schedule of a page, but standing in her way is the knights' training master, Lord Wyldon. The training master is dead set against girls becoming knights, and in an attempt to further hold Kel back, Lord Wyldon decides that she must pass a one-year trial that no male page has ever had to endure. But she is not to be underestimated. She will fight to succeed, even if the test is purposely unfair. The Protector of the Small series gets its first graphic novel adaptation, bringing to life Tamora Pierce's bestselling First Test in an exciting new format. This graphic novel story about believing in yourself and overcoming all odds combines action and adventure in a way that new and old fans of the series will love.

My first Pierce though frankly this graphic adaptation is so abridged as to feel unfair to even attribute to her. I'm glad I picked it up though because it was a quick read that whet my appetite for more from Tortall. Might do a Song of the Lioness buddy read with my nephew this summer.

Anna40 How old is your nephew? Always looking for new books for my almost 10 year old son … 6mo
everlocalwest @Anna40 he's turning 13 this summer and always looking for a new fantasy series. He just blazed through Ranger's Apprentice at Christmas so I think he'll resonate with these! If your 10yo is a fantasy reader, I think Pierce could be a good pick! 6mo
