Percy Jackson meets Black Panther - this blockbuster middle-grade adventure is perfect for fans of Jane Doe and the Cradle of All Worlds and Wilbur Smith' s Cloudburst. 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 . . . 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.
Atmospheric, absorbing and twisty, with great voices and so many original ideas. I loved this breath-taking adventure, and it' s such a treat to see Igbo people centred! * Clare Weze * Perry has written an action-packed fantasy with Igbo and other African mythology . . . This title is a must-read for fans of Kwame Mbalia' s Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky. * Booklist *
