Abstract
The illustrated novel “A Monster Calls” has great potential for teaching multimodal literacy in the classroom. Combining it with videos of the film adaptation as well as the audiobook allows learners opportunities to compare and contrast different mediums of storytelling. Additionally, “A Monster Calls” is a strong mentor text for teaching character transformation analysis.
