About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overlooked because of their age or when they are struggling to trust their own unique problem solving skills. It is an ideal choice for a young person who loves logic and science but needs a boost of confidence to lead others. Shuri, the princess of Wakanda, must step out of her brother's shadow to save her nation's most precious resource through her own scientific genius and grit. While the story is set in a high stakes superhero world, the heart of the narrative is about a girl finding her voice and learning that being a leader doesn't mean doing everything alone. It celebrates the intersection of tradition and innovation, making it a fantastic pick for middle grade readers (ages 8 to 12) who are beginning to navigate their own independence. Parents will appreciate the way it models intellectual curiosity and the importance of taking responsibility for the environment.
