In the sequel to the hit middle grade novel, The Young Prince, T'Challa is heading back to America to visit his friends Sheila and Zeke, who are staying with Sheila's grandma in Alabama over their summer break. T'Challa is excited to see his friends, but his fun summer vacation quickly turns into a nightmare. The small town has fallen under the sway of a charismatic politician named Achebe who is there to retrieve a spell book full of dark magic. When strange events start to take place, T'Challa begins to think that it's no coincidence that Achebe arrived in Beaumont at the same time he did.

Will T'Challa figure out his role in Achebe's sinister plot and break the spell he has over the town?

Review:

Wakandan prince T’Challa, with the help of his friends, uncovers mysteries and faces new foes. T’Challa, the 13-year-old prince of Wakanda, continues his adventures in America in this second entry in the Young Prince series. This time he is visiting Alabama with his Chicago friends, Sheila and Zeke. Staying with Sheila’s grandmother Miss Rose, the three are excited about all the fun activities they will partake in over the summer. But their revelry quickly gets interrupted thanks to a strange figure T’Challa encounters on multiple occasions, an acrobat called the Amazing Bob. Immediately, T’Challa gets a strange feeling about Bob, sensing that things are not what they seem with him. It turns out that the prince’s instincts are correct, as Bob is really Achebe, a politician with seemingly irresistible charm who has been wielding his power to influence the townspeople. Achebe has devious plans that require T’Challa’s unwitting participation and a spell book called the Book of Sins. It’s up to the young Wakandan and his friends to figure out and foil his plot before it’s too late and an irreversible price is paid. Smith delivers an action-filled story of friendship, youthful curiosity, and exploration that centers Black kids and is layered with anecdotes and storylines that highlight themes of social justice and power. Superhero fans will be satisfied by this latest installment. (Fantasy. 8-13)――Kirkus Reviews

My Review: 

Black Panther Spellbound is the second installment from Ronald Smith’s series, Black Panther the Young Prince. I thought it was a great read for young readers. I enjoyed reading T'Challa and his friends’ adventures. I am not the targeted audience for this book but it still had my attention throughout from start to finish. I loved it. 

I am giving Black Panther Spellbound a very well deserved five plus stars. I highly recommend it for readers who enjoy reading superhero books and are between the ages of eight and twelve years of age. Even superhero fans will want to pick this one, as well. I am hoping there will be more releasing from the Black Panther the Young Prince series in the future.

I received a copy of Black Panther Spellbound from the publisher, but was not required to write a positive review. This review is one hundred percent my own honest opinion.
