From New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone comes an all-new upper middle grade series based on one of the Marvel Universes break-out characters-Shuri. Girl power reigns supreme in this novel companion to the Black Panther universe, and Stone ( Clean Getaway) engagingly portrays the mind of a genius, teenage princess (complete with mission log–esque journal entries). An innovator responsible for creating much of Wakandas modern technology, she is also known for designing the current generation Panther Habits. Frustrated, she and K’Marah, a protector in training, set off on a secret mission to find what’s killing the plants and how to stop it before the last herb dies out forever. Shuri is the Princess of Wakanda, youngest child of TChaka and Ramonda, sister of TChalla, and the leader of the Wakandan Design Group. When the heart-shaped herb that ignites the Black Panther’s powers begins rapidly dying, Shuri is appalled at her family’s surprising lack of urgency regarding the problem. Even with all of her achievements, though, her mother and T’Challa-her brother, king of Wakanda and the current Black Panther-still treat Shuri like a child who doesn’t truly understand the propriety required of her. At 13, Princess Shuri has already accomplished so much as a scientist that she’s on the path to becoming Wakanda’s minister of technology and advancement.
