11yo Jarell has a hard time fitting in. While his older brother plays sports and gets along with everyone, Jarell would rather draw fantasy pictures. After a bad day, Jarell wanders down to his cousin’s barbershop where he discovers a hidden portal to a magical world of Ulfrica, where the pictures he’s been drawing are suddenly real places. Jarell discovers this world is in danger and that he may be the key to saving it if he can gain the confidence he needs to lead out.
This is the first in a series for young fans of Black Panther. The world of Ulfrica is intriguing and Jarell makes an unlikely hero. There is a lot of action and this book sets up the next one. Readers will be anxious to see where Jarell’s next adventure in Ulfrica leads.
