But there's no rest for the weary when his grandmother is abducted by a mysterious villain out for revenge.\n\nTristan must return to Alke--and reunite with his loud-mouthed sidekick, Gum Baby--in order to rescue Nana and stop the culprit from creating further devastation. Anansi, now a \"web developer\" in Tristan's phone, is close at hand to offer advice, and several new folk heroes will aid Tristan in his quest, but he will only succeed if he can figure out a way to sew broken souls back together.\n\n*\"Well-paced--just like the previous installment--this sequel focuses on themes such as the meaning of diaspora and the effects of trauma, making for a more nuanced and stronger story than the first. Packs a punch.\"--Kirkus (starred review)\n\nEndorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.\n\nEnhance your middle grade fantasy collection with these best-selling fan favorites: The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan The Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan Rick Riordan Presents Sal and Gabi Break the Universe by Carlos Hernandez Rick Riordan Presents City of the Plague God by Sarwat Chadda\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1368042406\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.1368042406.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Mbalia, Kwame\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
