Hi Nimit,
No it isn't, sorry to scare you. I thought I'd read that someone said it
was a graphic novel. I checked it out though and it isn't.
Bear with me here because I am sighted so I am not sure how things work
with devices for the blind. If you were able to purchase the EBook at a
reasonable cost, would that help you out?
It's available at Barnes & Noble as an Nook Book (which you can actually
get a free version of Nook on your computer) for $4.99, which isn't too
pricey. I checked it out and it is the same ISBN and publishing year, etc
of the book you are looking for.

hope it helps.
Laura
