Isaac Newton and the Laws of Motion, by Andrea Ianopoulos, illustrated by Phi, Miller and Charles Barnett III, Minnesota; Capstone Press, 2007 (ISBN 978-0-7368-6847-1)
Annotation:
This story features the musings of Isaac Newton that led to him making momentous discoveries. The main discoveries featured in this graphic novel are basic gravity laws, and the moon’s affect on the earth’s tides.
Personal Reaction:
This book was not nearly as enjoyable as some of the others I have read for this class. However, the format, at least, will certainly appeal to older readers. It is done in classic graphic novel style, with thought bubbles over the character’s heads. I did not enjoy the pictures very much, but the point did get across and older readers will at least be initially drawn to the book. People who love graphic novels will likely enjoy this book more than I did.
