Helfand, L. (2010). The wright brothers. Kalyani Navyug Media.
At the beginning of this graphic novel the author describes his passion for cartoons and animation. He also describes the research he did to create this novel. The book starts with Wilbur testing the "flying machine". Wilbur's trial failed. Next the book described Wilbur and Orville's past and what lead them to create this innovative machine. The two boys were very innovative and creative. Orville dreamed in class of adventures and flying. After school Wilbur and Orville started a printing company that did not work out and then they opened Wright Cycle and Company. Finally in the end the boys machine finally worked in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This book is full of fun and interesting facts about Wilbur and Orville.
This book would be a great research source in the classroom. This is also a great book for students who are interested in comic books. This book is in comic book form but it is also full of important and interesting facts.
Favorite Quote: "Flight- true- flight was not something man was not capable of."
