See all formats and editions

"Science! is the story of Tamsin Kuhn Trakroo, a fourteen-year-old girl who is already the smartest Theoretical and Applied Physicist in any room. Yeah, she's that super smart! Tamsin has just started studying at The Prometheus Institute which is only the world's most famous and prestigious science school. The Institute is a futuristic wonderland filled with genius teachers (some who might not be of this world), and floating helper robots known as S.T.A.T.s.

But Tamsin is stressed, and if your dead father talked to you through your super-cool science glasses, you'd be stressed out too. That's right, her father, the world-renowned Dr. Thomas Trakroo uploaded his consciousness before his death and now lives as a hologram stored in Tamsin's glasses.

Her father claims that Lucan Laveran, headmaster of The Prometheus Institute, is his murderer, and is on a mission to destroy the Institute! But Lucan just offered Tamsin a really cool position as his assistant. He can't be a murderer, right? Can she trust her weird holographic Dad?

Tamsin's really cute roommate, Garyn, is the only one that she can trust right now. However, Garyn's just discovered a dangerous energy source that could win her the Prometheus Institute Award for Superior Science, or it could tear a hole in the very space/time continuum!"

Editorial Reviews

Review

THE NERDY GIRL EXPRESS -- What is great is that the story is remarkably diverse in terms of the primary characters. Not just that, but all three of the core friend group are exceptionally bright women. Tamsin is able to use her own knowledge, with a boost from her father's holographic presence, to learn a great deal and Garyn has her own secret lab and experiments that we get to see outside of Tamsin's narrative. These stories do begin to connect and the connection between these two is very strong. Sally, their other friend and roommate, adds a voice of dissent and sort of grounds the two of them. Beyond the mystery at the core of the book, there are fun learning moments provided by the S.T.A.T.s throughout that give readers some insight into the science being shown throughout the book. The story is also full of twists and turns, especially once an experiment goes wrong. I loved this story and would be curious to see more of this world in the future.

Perfect for Curious and Sci-Fi Loving Kids - and Adults!

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2020

I really enjoyed this graphic novel, it was fun to read, and I totally didn't see the twists and turns coming. I think this would be a perfect book to give to a young person who enjoys STEM subjects and/or fantasy, particularly girls as it is full of great, strong and diverse female characters.

I particularly like the method of exposition in Science!, via the S.T.A.T.s, which also contains fun real science facts along the way. I also love the artwork style as I think it captures the fun and adventure of the book perfectly.

I will definitely be buying this for my younger cousins, nieces and nephews and look forward to future instalments.

How I read this: Free ebook copy received from author
★★★✬☆ 3.5 stars

This was a delightful, quick read. I only wish it was a little longer!

Tamsin is a young scientist at a cutting-edge school for teenage scientists. It’s a pretty cool futuristic school, the type you’re used to seeing in cartoons – in fact, the whole graphic novel had a pleasant, cartoonish style which I enjoyed. The kids talk in sciencey ways and it makes reading it fun – truly did remind me of the cartoons I watched in my childhood and my teens, because this is exactly the kind of stuff I enjoyed then. I only wish there were more stories like this back then!

There are a few reasons why I say this – first of all, it’s a very good read for girls – girls are scientists in this story, they’re very empowered and strong and they do all sorts of stuff – prepare to colonize uninhabited planets, run labs, do experiments and are just generally being mad scientists! There’s only one boy in the flock and he’s a secondary character, and there are a few men as teachers – the headmaster and others, but that’s all. The young generation is all girls and that was delightful.

Another reason is because the cast is so diverse! Pretty much every character is of a different heritage, and the two main characters are girls who fall in love. So in this regard, it’s a very refreshing read.

In this story, Tamsin learns that you may not always trust the people closest to you, as sad as it is, and you should always trust your own thinking and your decisions. It was a lovely read and I definitely want to read the next issue! The only drawback for me was that everything seemed to happen a little too quick, and for a graphic novel it felt a bit short – a lot of moments could have been fleshed out a little bit more, things could have been a little less rushed. It would have certainly been good for the novel to have more “bulk” – and I hope this will be the case in the new issues of the story. Other than that, it’s a delightful read that sparks your fantasy and keeps you interested. Definitely give it a go!

I thank the author for giving me a free copy of the ebook in exchange to my honest review. This has not affected my opinion.

Spectacular!

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2020

Science! is spectacular! Ashley and Jason are an amazing creative team. Tamsin is an awesome main character. I would love to see her and the rest of the supporting characters in more stories about Dark Energy. Once I entered the world of Science! I wanted to see where Ashley and Jason we’re taking me as the reader. Desiree’ Pittman and Becka Kinzie’s art took me a while to get used to, but by the end of the story I was hooked. A shout out to Taylor Esposito for lettering.
