Fans of Rick Riordan and MARVEL's Black Panther will love Tristan Strong Punches A Hole In the Sky. An action-packed adventure straddling our world and the enchanted realms of myth, author Kwame Mbalia tells the story of seventh-grader Tristan Strong, who must battle the forces of evil alongside heroes from African-American folklore and gods like Anansi the Weaver. Using his skills as a boxer and a storyteller, can Tristan find a way to close the deadly hole between worlds that he accidentally opened?

Writing prompt: Portals to other worlds come in all shapes and sizes--doorways, mirrors, wardrobes, enchanted paintings, rabbit holes, storms--and, of course, holes in the sky! Describe an object or place that you think could be a portal to another world. How would you use this portal? Where would it take you?
