I cannot wait for this movie to come out on disc.

Obvious target audience is young teens. Nevertheless I enjoyed this book version of the movie.

Miles Morales is your typical teenager. He is embarrassed by his parents, school is a chore where no one seems to like him since he is the new kid, and he would rather escape into his artwork. Then he gets bit by a strange glowing spider and suddenly he is growing wildly and he has strange new powers. Could he be a new Spider-man? Maybe with the help of some displaced mentors that understand him better than he can guess. This is the junior novelization of the movie of the same name.

Maybe with the help of some displaced mentors that understand him better than he can guess. This is the junior novelization of the movie of the same name. Junior novel just means that it is written to be accessible to a younger reading audience. Unfortunately, they no longer make an "adult" novelization of Marvel movies like they used to do. Truthfully, I really miss those novels. They were nice because they could go into a lot more detail than the movie could. You could "hear" the character's thoughts so you could catch motivations and nuances of the characters that the quicker visual medium of the movie (and even the comics) could. The junior novel really doesn't go that much into detail and nuance as those adult novels did. In fact, it is much more like a written comic. Don't get me wrong, it is still a good adaptation. (Especially considering I did not get to catch the movie in the theaters.) I am also sure that they will be more likely to sell comic book novels to younger crowds so it makes sense. I just miss the option of having a more in-depth "adult" version.

its a very well written story with some omissions from the original version for younger readers, the story itself centers on Miles becoming Spiderman his interaction with Peter Parker before he is killed and replaced with another peter and then several more spider men from around the spiderverse. If you have young readers giving them themed books with characters that hold their interest may help hold their reading interests a bit more. I know when I was younger star wars comics were a must have its a very well written story with some omissions from the original version for younger readers, the story itself centers on Miles becoming Spiderman his interaction with Peter Parker before he is killed and replaced with another peter and then several more spider men from around the spiderverse. If you have young readers giving them themed books with characters that hold their interest may help hold their reading interests a bit more. I know when I was younger star wars comics were a must have as they got released and today as new comics and novels are released I devour them instantly.

Fun, readable book depicting the movie plot and centering on Miles Morales. Spideys from several universes enter the fray as Wilson Fisk's diabolical plot to destroy universes challengescthe Spideya to work together. Miles, bitten by a Spider, is all new to this. But the need to help becomes greater than his fear. Great characters, easily explained in short chapters. Fun, readable book depicting the movie plot and centering on Miles Morales.

I adore Miles Morales! I think the animated version of this adaptation is damn-near a perfect movie, and I’m not exaggerating one bit. So why 3 stars? This book has typos littered throughout. If this were just fan-fic, I’d be annoyed but grudgingly understanding. But. When Marvel is paying for this bad-boy? You best engage an editor.

Great alternative if you didn't get to watch the movie in theaters like everyone else, and unlike many other junior novels, this one doesn't quite leave you wondering what happens next because it reads like a full storyline instead of just a fraction of one.

This book did a good job of summarizing the movie, and even a kid who hasn't seen it could enjoy the book. I do think it works better as a movie than it does as a book, but part of that is because it was such a visually stunning movie. Still, a great recap!
