(4) YA Illustrated by Jeff Weigel. Nick visits his cousin Sophie--whose parents work at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research--to learn about the LHC. The graphic novel format works well in portraying subatomic particles in dramatic collisions and the teens imagining themselves at microscopic sizes. However, the scientific details are conveyed through long, awkward lectures from Sophie and famous scientists. Reading list, websites. Glos.
