A fast-paced YA thriller. I found it to be pretty predictable (which is saying something for me becuase I usually never guess the twists or endings).

Great Minds of Science (Black Lives #1): A Nonfiction Graphic Novel by Tonya Bolden
4.0
A promising start to a new graphic novel series, Great Minds of Science shares brief graphic biographies of nine Black scientists, from physicians to marine biologists to aircraft captains. Each figure is showcased with multiple graphics supported by digestible yet detailed text of their impact on history. One of the features that I appreciated most was the timeline at the end of each biography, giving a recap to the reader about the important events in the figure's life.
