Description
Bloomsbury presents Cameron Battle and the Escape Trials by Jamar J. Perry, read by Marc Anthony Samuel.
Fans of Rick Riordan will lose themselves in the exciting world of Chidani-where the last descendant must fight to save the world!
After his first adventure as the Descendant, Cameron can't sit through seventh grade classes. Especially when his mother is still trapped in Chidani and his father is still missing. But he encounters a particularly nasty bully in his new school, and it doesn't take long for Cameron and his trusty friends Zion and Aliyah to realize that the troubles of Chidani won't stay away for long.
With the Book to guide them, Cameron and his crew end up transported to Chidani sooner than anticipated-and the gods and goddesses they encounter don't intend to make Cameron's journey easy. Can he finally outwit and outlast the villainous god set on destroying their worlds?
Inspired by West African and Igbo history and mythology, this middle-grade fantasy celebrates the triumphs and challenges of a boy finding his path to greatness.

Atmospheric, absorbing and twisty, with great voices and so many original ideas. I loved this breath-taking adventure, and it's such a treat to see Igbo people centred!

Gripping and fast - this is also a novel that foregrounds acceptance and queerness via the emotional tenderness between tweenage boys
Observer on CAMERON BATTLE AND THE HIDDEN KINGDOMS
-
Packed full of action and adventure, this is a book that readers of fantasy aged 9 and above will find wholly engrossing … With echoes of Jumanji, Black Panther and the Narnia series, this would be a great choice for readers who are not yet old enough for Children of Blood and Bone

Perry has written an action-packed fantasy with Igbo and other African mythology ... This title is a must-read for fans of Kwame Mbalia's Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky

The way it draws on Igbo mythology gives it a particular power and this is a heartfelt story of legacy, loss and the power of perseverance with a strong cast of characters
