About this listen
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 12-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.

Coming to America meets Harry Potter
Would you consider the audio edition of Black Panther to be better than the print version?
Yes, I would. The reader's performance was wonderful and really made the story pop! Both my son and I enjoyed it very much.
What did you like best about this story?
It was a new take on an old hero. Meeting the hero in childhood gives us insight into the experiences that will make him the character we know and love. I also love the fact that his father is VERY active and present in the story. I also like that there is a friend of T'Challa's father helping him along the way. A son being shaped by his father's presence instead of his absence.
Have you listened to any of Dion Graham’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is the first time I have enjoyed Dion Graham, but he was great.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
T'Challa's conversations with his father and his father's "friend" (no spoilers). Again, it's wonderful to see a young black boy being shaped by his father and other male figures as the adventure of his life unfolds.
Any additional comments?
I really and truly hope that this is the first in a series of books about T'Challa when he was a boy. If Harry Potter can gets 7 books, I am sure there is room on the shelves for our young prince! Ashe.
