Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia
5.0
This is technically a reread, I picked this one up right when it came out and forgot to write a review for it, but my second read confirmed everything I loved about it in the first place.
A noble addition to the Riordan Presents label, I'm so glad to see something that plays with so many different concepts; considering everything that has to do with African and African American tales. I'm not one well versed with them, but this book is a wealth of knowledge, as well as just being fun. Tristan is an awesome protagonist, and more believable than some in the stories I read. He's a kid who's done being pushed around by the end of the story, and I can respect that. His tale is one of legends, and I'm so glad there's a sequel coming.
