Shuri and T'Challa set out to remove a curse from Wakanda in this
action-packed, totally original graphic novel! Twelve-year-old
Shuri is a lot of things. Scientist. Princess. All around cooler
person than her pain-in-the-butt big brother T'Challa. Shuri knows
she could do so much more to help Wakanda, but everyone is obsessed
with the prince because he's the next Black Panther. That is, until
Soul Washing Day, one of the most important rituals of Wakandan
society. When an argument between T'Challa and Shuri leads to one
of Shuri's inventions accidentally destroying the sacred ceremony
site, chaos reigns instead of prosperity. Suddenly the people of
Wakanda, including her mother the queen, are becoming sick! Could
this be a curse from the ancestors? Desperate to save her mother,
Shuri dives into research and finds an answer hidden deep in an
ancient children's myth. It may be nothing more than a fantasy, but
with the sickness spreading each day, the young princess must trust
her instincts and travel deep into the mysterious Heartlands to
save her family and her kingdom. Joining Shuri on her journey is
none other than a meddling T'Challa. If Shuri and T'Challa can set
aside their jealousy and resentment of each other long enough to
survive this journey, they might just discover that they are far
more powerful together than they could ever be apart. But if they
can't face their fears in the Heartlands and lift the so-called
curse, it may not be just the end for their family, but the end of
Wakanda as they know it. No pressure, right? Vivid full-colour art
An Original Black Panther Graphic Novel An action-packed adventure,

In 1845, Sir John Franklin commanded two ships on an expedition to
find a Northwest Passage from England through the Arctic and over
to Asia. If successful, the route would be a faster way to get
goods from Asia to Europe and back. But success was not on the
cards for Franklin's expedition. Only recently, the sunken ships
were discovered in the icy Arctic waters. What happened to Franklin
and his men, and what messages did they leave behind?
