Book 1 in The Young Prince series by award-winning author Ronald L.
Smith!***
***Black Panther. Ruler of Wakanda. Avenger.***This is his destiny.
But right now, he's simply T'Challa--the young prince.
**
**Life is comfortable for twelve-year-old T'Challa in his home of
Wakanda, an isolated, technologically advanced African nation. When he's
not learning how to rule a kingdom from his father--the reigning Black
Panther--or testing out the latest tech, he's off breaking rules with
his best friend, M'Baku. But as conflict brews near Wakanda, T'Challa's
father makes a startling announcement: he's sending T'Challa and M'Baku
to school in America.
This is no prestigious private academy--they've been enrolled at South
Side Middle School in the heart of Chicago. Despite being given a
high-tech suit and a Vibranium ring to use only in case of an emergency,
T'Challa realizes he might not be as equipped to handle life in America
as he thought. Especially when it comes to navigating new friendships
while hiding his true identity as the prince of a powerful nation, and
avoiding Gemini Jones, a menacing classmate who is rumored to be
involved in dark magic.
When strange things begin happening around school, T'Challa sets out to
uncover the source. But what he discovers in the process is far more
sinister than he could ever have imagined.
In order to protect his friends and stop an ancient evil, T'Challa
must take on the mantle of a hero, setting him on the path to becoming
the Black Panther.
