Annotation:
A graphic novel format of the African American explorer Matthew Henson who helped Robert Peary discover the North Pole and was an integral part of the adventure, especially his communications with the Inuit people.

Personal reaction:
Matthew Henson's adventures are inspiring in any book. But in this graphic form his adventure comes to life popularizing him with a new generation of readers. A great addition to the biography section of a school. The high interest and lower reading level of the graphic novel format is especially attractive when combined with this historical African American.
