This has big implications for the future of Wakanda and the Black Panther. Shuri discovers, to her dismay, that the plant is beginning to die off.

It’s an essential part of Wakanda’s culture and tradition. The plot of Shuri focuses on the heart-shaped herb that gives the Black Panther his heightened senses and strength. It seemed like a natural fit when I heard that Nic Stone was going to be putting out one of these Marvel YA novels based on one of their rising teenage stars. While she wasn’t a large part of the Marvel universe previous to the movie, her status as a breakout star following the blockbuster has led to an increasing amount of page space devoted to the character in the pages of the comics (in both Ta-Nehesi Coates’ Black Panther run and in her own series written by sci-fi all-star Nnedi Okorafor). She’s a teenage tech-wizard and the princess of Wakanda. Shuri is a character those who’ve seen the Black Panther movie from Marvel Studios will surely be familiar with.

I am aware of her Dear Martin books, but this is the first of her works that I’ve read. The author for this first Shuri novel is Nic Stone.

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.Shuri is the latest in a series of Marvel’s efforts to publish novels targeted at the YA/middle-grade audience. No matter what the people of Wakanda do, they can’t save them. Much like Vibranium, the Heart-Shaped Herb is essential to the survival and prosperity of Wakanda. For centuries, the Chieftain of Wakanda (the Black Panther) has gained his powers through the juices of the Heart-Shaped Herb. This story follows Shuri as she sets out on a quest to save her homeland of Wakanda.
