In the Graphic Novel Nimona written by Noelle Stevenson supervillain Ballister Blackheart and his shapeshifter sidekick Nimona work together to fight the evil institution. In the story Nimona gets her shapeshifting abilities from Blackheart and Nimona wreaks havoc on the kingdom. Their goal is to prove the institution evil for their secret stash of jade root that is poisoning the King's crops. Nimona and Ballister Blackheart's mischief escalate into an aggressive battle between the institution and the supervillian Ballister Blackheart. Before Nimona and Ballister Blackheart get in a fight over how Nimona is using too much of her power and causing a lot of mischief so Nimona disappears. Later Blackheart realizes she has been captured by the institution and tries to save her.
In my opinion I think the graphic novel Nimona was a great book and I found it very entertaining. It is an easy book to understand and read. It is 253 pages so it shouldn’t take very long to read because it is a graphic novel. It is perfect for readers ages 10-14 and it has interesting characters and a great plot. It is perfect for you if you like sci-fi, fantasy, comedy and a little bit of horror. Most of the pictures in the story are filled with details except for the background characters.
The lyrical language, pictures, and emotion build up to the fight between the supervillains Nimona and Ballister Blackheart and the institution. Readers will be drawn into an action filled story and will worry about Nimona. Short chapters will pictures will encourage readers to want to read the book.
