I really wanted to like this book more than I did. The illustrations are fantastic and the topics are interesting. There are some fascinating nuggets of information contained in this book. BUT (and this is a big one) some of the ideas presented as "fact" and given as definitive statements are incorrect, or at least not backed by solid scientific evidence. I'm willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt, though, and I hope that the misinformation in the book is more a result of simplifying ideas down too much, rather than regurgitating pop-science/pseudoscience articles and headlines without due diligence. I wish this book had an extensive bibliography, which is something I started looking for immediately. A book like this is incomplete without one.

I requested an ARC of this book on a total whim and I'm *so* glad that I did! The graphic novel format is perfect for making the scientific information accessible to the reader, and the art is beautifully vibrant and compelling.

I had only heard about a fraction of what Funneman describes here, and each chapter was filled with such cool information that I had no clue about. We are truly living an electric life in an electric world and many of us have no conscious clue.

Simply put, this is an awesome, fascinating read! It definitely makes me want to learn more about the topic, so I appreciated the suggested reading list at the back. Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

The graphic novel format for this book was the perfect avenue for such a deep scientific topic. Breaking the information down into illustrated viewpoints, and told through a narrator who is also learning along with the reader, the author is able to convey so much information in such an accessible way. I learned a lot about biology and new research fields that combine electricity and biology. I have a feeling many readers will want to learn more about electricity and biology after reading this fascinating book! Best for upper middle grade-high school ages. I recommend this book for schools and libraries.
