Reviews
Super scientist Max Axiom is back, but now he has the help of Lizzy and Nick Axiom. . . .Channeling Captain Planet, this engaging graphic presentation stars three Black science heroes and delves into its subject with verve. While Nick leads a beach cleanup, Max and Lizzy visit a scientist on a research ship to learn more about plastics and how people can help keep them out of the water. Question-driven dialogue results in conversational explanations that make this environmental topic extremely accessible.--Julia Smith "Booklist"
