Why read it?
1 author picked Cameron Battle and the Hidden Kingdoms as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Cameron Battle has to be one of the most tenderhearted characters I’ve ever read.
He’s a sweetheart, and just the right hero for this African-inspired fantasy as Cameron portals with his friends into the world of Chidani. There are dangers at every turn, but Cameron handles them all by trusting in his friends, his compassion, and his desire to learn what happened to his parents.
Along the way, I was inspired by Cameron learning more about his family ancestry as well as his own identity.
From George's list on diverse heroes in children’s fantasy.
