The Isle of the Lost: The Graphic Novel (The Descendants)
By Melissa de la Cruz, Robert Venditti
Book one in the #1 New York Times best-selling Descendants series--now in the wickedly fun, action-packed graphic novel!
Twenty years ago, all the evil villains were banished from the kingdom of Auradon to the Isle of the Lost--a dark and dreary place protected by a force field that makes it impossible for them to leave. Stripped of their magical powers, the villains now live in total isolation, forgotten by the world.
Mal learns from her mother, Maleficent, that the key to true darkness, the Dragon's Eye, is located inside her scepter in the forbidden fortress on the far side of the island. The eye is cursed, and whoever retrieves it will be knocked into a deep sleep for a thousand years. But Mal has a plan to capture it. She'll just need a little help from her "friends." In their quest for the Dragon's Eye, these four kids begin to realize that just because you come from an evil family tree, being good ain't so bad.

The book The Isle of the Lost written by Robert Venditti. I would recommend this book even though it's a comic. I think that the author made the characters act very alike with the movie. Even though some of them might have not seem real, the drawing is pretty. The story is base on the movie except the author kinda moved the things that happened around a little bit because in the movie, it is said that Mal's mother's cane was on the United States of Auradon, which queen belle and the beast are the ruler. But in the book, it's said that Mal's mother's cane has been on the isle of the lost and her mom had ordered her to get her cane back to her. While that time they had school on the isle of the lost and Evie was a new student. Mal didn't like her in the beginning and bullied her. But then she had an idea that would let Evie fall asleep for one thousand years because her mother's cane has a curse that the person who touches it would fall into sleep for one thousand years. So she decided to bring Evie with her and frame her. But who knows that during the adventure to find her mother's cane, Mal started to think that Evie might not be such a bad person. So when they finally found the cane and Evie tried to reach over to it, Mal pushed Evie away and touched the cane first to sacrifice herself instead of Evie. Luckily Mal didn't fall into sleep for one thousand of years because she was the daughter of the cane's owner. The curse didn't work on her, so she was very happy that she made a new fried but at the same time the cane disappeared. When all the kinds got home, their parents said the same thing to them that they were disappointed at them. They didn't feel bad at all, instead, they were all pretty happy about their parents calling them a disappointment. On the other side, Ben was getting ready to become a king and having meetings and solving problems for the citizens. I think what the book was trying to tell us that you don't have to become what others expect you to be, and what others think about you doesn't matter.
