Percy Jackson meets Black Panther - this blockbuster middle-grade fantasy adventure is perfect for fans of Amari and the Night Brothers.Cameron Battle grew up reading The Book of Chidani, cherishing stories about the fabled kingdom that cut itself off from the world to save the Igbo people from danger. Passed down over generations, the Book is Cameron's only connection to his parents, who disappeared one fateful night two years ago. Ever since, his grandmother has kept the Book locked away, but it calls to Cameron. When he and his best friends, Zion and Aliyah, decide to open it again, they are magically transported to Chidani. Instead of a land of beauty and wonder, they find a kingdom in extreme danger, as the queen's sister seeks to destroy the barrier between worlds. The people of Chidani have been waiting for the last Descendant to return and save them ... but is Cameron ready to be the hero they need? Inspired by West African and Igbo history and mythology, this adventure-filled fantasy introduces readers to Cameron Battle as he begins his journey to greatness.

"A great Middle Grade read and debut by this author inspired by Igbo and West-African Mythology and it's compared to Percy Jackson and doesn't disappoint. It's about family and learning and Cameron figuring things out about himself. I love reading and seeing other parts of the world and cultures in books like the West-African Mythology and such in this one. It's always refreshing to get a unique perspective and view on things told and viewed through a different lens. The magic is also great and this story has it all with the action, adventure, fantasy, magic, friendship, family, and more. It does have a few things to be aware of like death and violence. I'm glad I got to read this and am excited to see what happens in the next book. Thanks to NetGalley and Bloomsbury USA Children's Books/Bloomsbury Children's Books for letting me read and review this fantastic MG story. All thoughts and opinions are my own."
