Black Panther: The Young Prince is the perfect middle school novelization of a beloved superhero. The story is fresh, the characters are well developed & the action keeps the reader engaged. Thanks for bringing these stories to tweens!

I was going into this thinking it was YA, so I was definitely missing some of the depth that’s been in YA superhero novels (like Jason Reynolds’ Miles Morales<\i> or Leigh Bardugo’s Wonder Woman: Warbringer) lately.
Some of the characters weren’t as developed as I would have liked, although Zeke and Sheila were pretty fun.
Overall, it was a quick, good read. It won’t be at the top of my favorites for this year, but it was a nice superhero book, especially for some of the younger kids who saw and enjoyed Black Panther.

Being new to the Marvel world, I’m just starting to get my bearing on characters, locations and powers. I loved getting to know more about Black Panther, T’Challa and Wakanda. I’m excited to add this to my middle grade collection. Well done, Ronald L. Smith and Disney!
