C. Cervantes, New York Times best-selling author of The Storm Runner series "A Marvelous Achievement." --Daniel Jose Older, New York Times best-selling author of Shadowshaper "Tristan Strong will punch a hole in your heart. I lived this book-an epic blend of fantasy, action, and mythology." --Eoin Colfer, New York Times best-selling author of the Artemis Fowl series "A worthy addition to the diverse array of offerings from Rick Riordan Presents." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Overall a stellar mix of the playful and the serious, the traditional and the original, this novel marks the emergence of a strong new voice in myth-based children's fantasy." -- BCCB (starred review) "It brims with heart, humor, and action, successfully crafting a beautifully unified secondary world that brings the power of stories to glorious life." -- Booklist (starred review) "Tristan's voice rings true and sympathetic, while the irrepressible Gum Baby steals every scene." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Mbalia returns with a sequel as impressive and even more compelling." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (starred review) Praise for Tristan Strong Destroys the World "Packs a punch." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review ) "Alternately humorous and heartbreaking, this installment sees Tristan entering a dramatic new chapter of his saga that will leave readers eager for more." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Mbalia returns with a sequel as impressive and even more compelling, offering all the power-packed goodness of the previous volume, with well-plotted pacing and a quick-witted narrative voice." -- BCCB (starred review) "Mbalia's universe continues to excite through sheer conceptual brilliance, nonstop action and adventure, and--let's be honest--the comical aggression of sidekick god Gum Baby." -- Booklist "Mbalia's stunning landscapes, suspenseful action sequences, and well-paced story line--including questions of how our stories can create but also destroy--will keep readers enthralled to the very end." -- Horn Book

Synopsis
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 it--is that a doll?--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 loves?, 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. *"Mbalia expertly weaves a meaningful portrayal of family and community with folklore, myth, and history--including the legacy of the slave trade--creating a fast-paced, heroic series starter."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review) 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.

    A great quality medal in perfect condition. Packed well and arrived quickly. Was very happy with the seller. She was concerned with a small hiccup caused by the p.o. and communicated immediately so that I wouldn't worry. She getas 5 stars but the p.o.not so much. All that adds to the value of both the medal and the transaction. Thank you. You should try a purchase here, you'll be pleased for sure.
