Shuri and T'Challa: Into the Heartlands by Roseanne A. Brown
5.0
✨ Review ✨ INTO THE HEARTLANDS by author Roseanne A. Brown and illustrators Natacha Bustos, Dika Araújo, and Claudia Aguirre
Black Panther is one of my favorite parts of the Marvel Universe, and Shuri is the bomb, so I was delighted to get a copy of this middle grades graphic novel to read with my 8yo!
SYNOPSIS: Follow the adventures of the prince and princess of Wakanda from before the Black Panther movie, when Shuri was just a 12-year-old genius and T’Challa was still only a teenager next in line to be the Black Panther! When an argument between the step-siblings leads to one of Shuri’s inventions accidentally destroying a sacred ceremony site, the people of Wakanda – including the Queen Mother – start falling mysteriously ill. Desperate to save their mother and their people, Shuri and T’Challa must settle their sibling quarrels, band together, and travel deep into the perilous Heartlands of Wakanda to lift the so-called curse. Can they put aside their jealousy and resentment long enough to survive the journey?
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Genre: middle grades, fantasy, graphic novel
Location: Wakanda
Pub Date: April 19, 2022
My 8yo and I read this together, and we both loved it (he rated it a solid 6 out of 5 stars!). The illustrations were GORGEOUS, and the sibling relationship between Shuri and T'Challa was a perfect showing of what happens when bickering teen siblings have the kingdom on their shoulders. The book was full of excitement and just the right amount of context, color, and thrills to keep us both engaged. We flew through this! This is a great one to read along with your kids if they like superheroes and graphic novels!
