Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone comes an all-new upper middle grade series based on one of the Marvel Universe's break-out characters—Shuri, from Black Panther!An original, upper-middle-grade series starring the break-out character from the Black Panther comics and films: T'Challa's younger sister, Shuri! Crafted by New York Times bestselling author Nic Stone. Shuri is a skilled martial artist, a genius, and a master of science and technology. But, she's also a teenager. And a princess. This story follows Shuri as she sets out on a quest to save her homeland of Wakanda.For centuries, the Chieftain of Wakanda (the Black Panther) has gained his powers through the juices of the Heart-Shaped Herb. Much like Vibranium, the Heart-Shaped Herb is essential to the survival and prosperity of Wakanda. But something is wrong. The plants are dying. No matter what the people of Wakanda do, they can't save them. And their supply is running short. It's up to Shuri to travel from Wakanda in order to discover what is killing the Herb, and how she can save it, in the first volume of this all-new, original adventure.

DNF @ 10%. Okay, I went into this open minded— but Shuri just ripped ass in front of an entire room full of Wakandan officials.

Book 44 of 2021 I loved Shuri a lot since watching Black Panther. Now, I love her so much more. She's such an amazing and brave heroine, with a lot of humor and tricks up her sleeve. When I watched Black Panther, one of my favorite Shuri lines was "WHAT ARE THOSE?!". It made me laugh so hard and I'm......more

This warmed my Wakandian loving heart!!! Stone did a fantastic job of delving into Shuri's life as princess of Wakanda.

This was a great fit, I loved the humor Nic Stone brought to Shuri as well as the brilliance + naivete as Shuri starts to contemplate the world outside Wakanda. This is a middle grade......more

Goodreads review by Ethan on January 11, 2023

This is the first book that I feel like I can say I listened to entirely--that is, it's the first audio book that I've paid enough attention to. I enjoyed the narration a lot. Anika Noni Rose portrayed every African character with a very well-done accent (according to the Black Panther movie), includ......more
