Marvel Black Panther: Spellbound By Ronald L. Smith ... Thirteen-year-old T'Challa can't wait to go back to America to visit his friends Sheila and Zeke in Beaumont, a small Alabama town, over their summer break. He's thrilled to be on holiday away from his duties as the Prince of Wakanda. But as T'Challa begins to explore the town, he finds that a man who goes by the ordinary name of Bob happens to be everywhere he is - and T'Challa begins to think it's no coincidence. When residents of the town begin flocking to Bob's strange message, and a prominent citizen disappears, the Young Prince has no choice but to intervene. Before long, T'Challa and his friends find themselves caught in a plot involving a rare ancient book and a man who's not as he seems. Swept up in a fight against an unexpected and evil villain, T'Challa, Sheila and Zeke must band together to save the people of Beaumont... before it's too late.
