DISNEY’S A WRINKLE IN TIME: A JOURNAL FOR WRITERS, CREATORS, AND THINKERS

Written by Victoria Saxon

SUMMARY:

In 2018, Disney Enterprises, Inc. released this 128-page, creative thinking journal through Farrar Straus Giroux Books.  Utilizing photo stills from the 2018 Disney live-action film, writer Victoria Saxon poses a number of writing and drawing exercises for young readers to imaginatively think hard.  In addition to scribbling a series of short essays, readers can create their own artwork to supplement their writing.  The journal’s primary focus is exploring the film’s themes and how readers might interpret then, as well as the various characters, through their own eyes.       

REVIEW:

Geared towards children for ages 8-12, this activity journal makes an excellent resource for kids to hone their writing skills.  For the younger kids, supervision from parents or older siblings may be necessary to understand some of the questions that writer Victoria Saxon poses.  To her credit, Saxon manages to effectively convey to readers a sense of how to mix light introspection with creative thinking.  Overall, this book makes a solid gift for young fans of the film who might someday write their own fantasy novels. 

ADDITIONAL CONTENT:

Photo stills and quotes from the film are included.
