Ghosts of Science Past

 By: Joseph Sieracki & Jesse Lonergan

Mackin discard (damaged) hardcover 116 pages plus extras

Published: 2022

Genre: non-fiction / fantasy graphic novel


Basically, this graphic novel is A Christmas Carol for tweens and teens. Trevor doesn't like biology class and doesn't think the subject matter is important. He's visited by ghosts - first Charles Darwin, then Marie Curie, Chien-Shiung Wu, Gregor Mendel, Ernest Everett Just, and a ghost of future.


It's well-drawn and well-written. It has a lot of information about biology, chemistry, and physics. I think Trevor's transformation is less believable than Ebeneezer Scrooge's, but perhaps I'm just feeling cynical today. I will donate this one to a science teacher.
