Review:

This book is the fifth book in the engaging Good Guys Agency series. This installment follows the adventures of friends Lucky, Rudy, and Red as they embark on a time-traveling mission to meet the legendary mathematician Katherine Johnson and learn about the power of the brain and math.

In this adventure, the trio uses their Kid Cruiser to travel back in time and meet Katherine Johnson at NASA. They learn about her incredible contributions to the Apollo Space Missions and how her mathematical genius helped save the day. The book not only educates readers about Katherine Johnson's achievements but also encourages them to think critically and appreciate the power of math and science. 

The story is a delightful mix of prose and colorful comic panels, making it a fast-paced and visually appealing read. Esposito and illustrator Ricardo Tokumoto skillfully combine humor, education, and values to create a story that is both fun and inspiring.
