This modern classic, a celebrity favorite — Joe Jonas, Russell Crowe and Will Smith are among its fans — translates perfectly to the graphic-novel genre, enlivening the story of Santiago’s search for treasure from Spain to Tangier and across the Egyptian desert. If illustrator Daniel Sampere’s majestic drawings of the King of Salem seem familiar, it’s because they are modeled on Coelho’s face. Sampere’s art and Derek Ruiz’s adaptation of the novel add nuances to this story about self-fulfillment.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“This modern classic, a celebrity...translates perfectly to the graphic-novel genre, enlivening the story of Santiago’s search for treasure from Spain to Tangier and across the Egyptian desert.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eUSA Today\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“The Alchemist: A Graphic Novel reinterprets Paulo Coelho’s international best-seller with dramatic illustrations, offering readers a fresh take on the magical tale of a shepherd’s journey.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eO, the Oprah Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperOne","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44888663687397,"sku":"NP9780062024329","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780062024329.jpg?v=1730229566","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/the-alchemist-a-graphic-novel-isbn-9780062024329","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
