Thank you to Netgalley, Europe Comics, and the authors Cédric Mayen, Roberto Ricci & Laura Iorio for a copy of this book! All opinions are my own. 

This short and whimsical graphic novel follows the story of a young man who is fascinated by rainbows. As a child, he fears them until his father gives him a secret bit of wisdom. He then befriends Isaac Newton who helps him explore science, and later is sent to serve as a spy in France for England. There he continues to explore science, chase rainbows, and form new experiences. We see how these experiences shape his personality and relationships with the people around him, including a young woman with a strange power.

I truly enjoyed reading this sweet story. The art was vibrant and beautiful. It was very fitting for the rainbow theme. Even the chapters are named and themed after colors. This graphic novel is perfect to pick up when you want something quick that will make you smile.
