Doreen Sheridan

Once Dani Moreau realized that her life of privilege meant that she was better off than the vast majority of the world’s populace, she began looking for a way to make that right. Not through charitable work, as other people in her position might do, but by flinging herself body and soul into investigative journalism. Her mission is to bring the truth to light and to speak it to power, and in that manner to fix the inequities of the world.

adapted for the format by Scott Peterson, and illustrated by wife and husband duo Veronica and Andy Fish. Y’all, when I tell you that I ugly cried my way through the end of this graphic novel, I super mean it. I had to sit back on the couch and take several deep breaths in order to fully recover from that ending.

subtitled …And What REALLY Happened. Forgive me for saying this in an incredibly brainrotted manner, but I highkenuinely feel that this book should be in every library accessible to American children. Preferably in physical format, for even as an adult, I did not have an easy time navigating the digital version. Regardless, this slender volume is so smart and informative, and vivid in its illustrations and design, that it definitely deserves to be widely available to young readers.
