From Kirkus: "A worthy addition to the diverse array of offerings from Rick Riordan Presents." Solid middle grade fantasy using African American mythology, and I'm VERY glad it's getting a sequel ([b:Tristan Strong Destroys The World|39884377|Tristan Strong Destroys The World (Tristan Strong, #2)|Kwame Mbalia|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1581960304l/39884377._SY75_.jpg|61695544]). Longer thoughts later, maybe, but for now the RR Presents series is 2/2 on intriguing fantasy using mythology I'm less familiar with! I had a super fun time reading thi book. I also really loved the rep in this book and how it focused on both african american folk heroes and also gods. It was a really fast pace read. It also dealt alot with the topics of recovering from grief. I did read a much older arc of this book, so it did read a bit long to me. But I really loved the quest element and the twists and turns in the story. I am really excitd to read book 2 soon!! So happy i finally read it! I had a super fun time reading thi book.

He is less concerned about a hero's glory and more about dealing with his emotions. Also, I loved the inclusion of African American and African folklore. I grew up with John Henry and Brer Rabbit and learned about Anansi later on in life, but I had never heard about High John/John the Conqueror. The way folklore is dispersed throughout felt great and made the world of Alke feel colorful. I want to read the original novel now because I feel like some of the emotional aspects will probably hit harder (not that they're bad in graphic form). I'm ready to see this adapted whether as a TV show or a movie. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML:Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Kwame Mbalia's epic fantasy, a middle grade American Gods set in a richly-imagined world populated with African American folk heroes and West African gods. Seventh grader Tristan Strong feels anything but strong ever since he failed to save his best friend when they were in a bus accident together. All he has left of Eddie is the journal his friend wrote stories in. Tristan is dreading the month he's going to spend on his grandparents' farm in Alabama, where he's being sent to heal from the tragedy. But on his first night there, a sticky creature shows up in his bedroom and steals Eddie's notebook. Tristan chases after itâ??is that a doll?â??and a tug-of-war ensues between them underneath a Bottle Tree. In a last attempt to wrestle the journal out of the creature's hands, Tristan punches the tree, accidentally ripping open a chasm into the MidPass, a volatile place with a burning sea, haunted bone ships, and iron monsters that are hunting the inhabitants of this world. Tristan finds himself in the middle of a battle that has left black American folk heroes John Henry and Brer Rabbit exhausted. In order to get back home, Tristan and these new allies will need to entice the god Anansi, the Weaver, to come out of hiding and seal the hole in the sky. But bartering with the trickster Anansi always comes at a price. Can Tristan save this world before he loses more of the things he Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
