Marvel, Miles Morales, Squirrel Girl, etc.
"The Marvel Universe is vast, inclusive and iconic with a great range of multi-faceted characters, and Scholastic and Marvel share a commitment to bringing diverse characters to life," said Debra Dorfman, Vice President and Publisher, Global Licensing, Brands and Media, Scholastic. She may be a Wakandan princess, but what makes Shuri the ultimate hero is her unique sense of intelligence, responsibility and determination, ideals that resonate with all of us." "As the first title we're launching with Scholastic, Shuri is the perfect character to highlight this message. Also, this is a prose novel, not a graphic novel."Marvel's characters mean so much to our fans because they inspire us to embrace our individual power," said Sana Amanat, Vice President of Content & Character Development, Marvel. Readers should be aware that while there are some connections to the Wakandan world of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this series does not line up 100% with the movie timeline. Newcomers probably don’t need to have read that one to follow the action of this one, but it’s fun to see the full arc for Shuri in order. Shuri seems well-positioned to make a difference for other bright young minds that don’t have the resources or support that she does.įans of the first book should NOT miss this one. I would love to see the wrap up of this book become something bigger that gets explored more in a future story.
And there are several fun appearances of folks from the larger Marvel universe. There’s nice development to Shuri’s relationship with K’Marah. This was fun! I loved the premise of the book – the missing STEM teens – and Shuri’s journey to solve the mystery. And what they find seems to raise more questions than it answers. While they feel obligated to be sure the girls are safe, two more teenage girls on a rescue mission might not be the best choice. When Shuri discovers coordinates in Ethiopia where the missing girls might be, she and K’Marah scheme for an opportunity to get away and check the place out. Girls from around the world between 10 and 15 years old, all with major STEM skills, have gone missing. And those three girls are just the tip of the iceberg. Then Shuri is hacked by an American girl who also has a missing friend. Then it’s someone her best friend K’Marah knows. First, it’s someone she met on her last adventure. As Shuri digs into her studies and training in order to earn a trip to a tech conclave with her brother, King T’Challa, she starts hearing rumors of missing teen girls.
