Science! The Elements of Dark Energy is a graphic novel written by Ashley V. Robinson and Jason Inman, and illustrated by Desiree Pittman and Becka Kinzie. This was a light, fun scifi read that uses real science! We get a genius South Asian sapphic girl for an MC!
We follow Tamsin Khun Trakroo, a new student at the Prometheus Institute, a school full of teen science geniuses, as she tries to help her dead, holographic father get revenge on the school. When the girl Tamsin is crushing on gets exposed to Dark Matter in a secret lab under the school, Tamsin has to decide what is more important: saving her friends and the girl she likes or avenging her father.
I loved learning about all the real science that went into this! Ashley and Jason really did their homework. Of course, there are a ton of Star Trek references, and Garyn gives me strong Gary Seven vibes. I want a S.T.A.T bot for a friend! As with all graphic novels, I just wish there was more! So Ashley and Jason better get working on book two. Can't be leaving me on a cliff hanger like that!
