Black Panther. Ruler of Wakanda. Avenger. This is his destiny. But right now, he is simply TChalla, the young prince. Life is comfortable for twelve year old TChalla in his home of Wakanda, an isolated, technologically advanced African nation. When he is not learning how to rule a kingdom from his father, the reigning Black Panther, or testing out the latest tech, he is off breaking rules with his best friend, MBaku. But as conflict brews near Wakanda, TChallas father makes a startling announcement: he is sending TChalla and MBaku to school in America. This is no prestigious private academy: they have been enrolled at South Side Middle School in the heart of Chicago. When strange things begin happening around school, TChalla sets out to uncover the source; but what he discovers in the process is far more sinister than he could ever have imagined.
