Published under the Rick Riordan Presents umbrella, the Tristan Strong series follows the titular hero, who accidentally ends up in the middle of a conflict between African and African American gods and legendary figures in the world of the Midpass.

The book series for middle schoolers had a special edge, a promise that you’d see beloved, familiar characters in a new situation – like meeting up with old friends.Įven at the ripe old age of 34, I still love reading books aimed at middle schoolers.

The books I read in middle school were the ones that stuck with me.
