Grades 5-8: Black Panther: The Young Prince by Ronald L. Smith
“Life is comfortable for twelve-year-old T’Challa in his home of Wakanda, an isolated, technologically advanced African nation. But as conflict brews near Wakanda, T’Challa’s father makes a startling announcement: he’s sending T’Challa and his best friend M’Baku to school in America, at South Side Middle School in the heart of Chicago... When strange things begin happening around school, T’Challa sets out to uncover the source. But what he discovers 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,” (The Young Prince, 2018).
