Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia

4.0

This was such a good book! I loved this! It was such a good book and it delved into a section of mythology/folklore that isn't written about a lot. African-American tales, like John Henry, Brer Rabbit, Anasansi, so many different people and I love it! I also love that the main character is a young black man who ends up using an ability that can be thought to be weak-minded, but it becomes his strength, along with his boxing ability that the men in his family teach and pass along to him. This is an excellent book, and I'm looking forward to seeing if we get more in this world.
