"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 friend] M'Baku to school in America [and] ... 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, 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"--Jacket flap.
