Review Quotes: This series offers an engaging twist on historical learning, with legendary figures like Amelia Earhart, Shakespeare, Cleopatra, and Albert Einstein transported into the present to help kids solve modern-day problems. Each of the first four titles features a different child protagonist, blending history with relatable, real-life challenges. Presented in an early graphic novel style, the illustrations are often laid out in panels, with some extending beyond the frames for added visual interest. The text is a mix of narrative and speech bubbles, kept short and simple for introductory readers. The back matter includes facts about the historical figure featured in the story, along with a glossary, making it both educational and fun. These volumes not only introduce young readers to important historical figures but also show how the past can inspire solutions for today's challenges, all in a vibrant, comic-book format. VERDICT A worthwhile addition to comic book collections.-- "School Library Journal"
