Did you miss our virtual book club with Kwame Mbalia, the featured speaker of the 2021 Black Ink Festival? In September, the New York Times best selling author discussed his book "Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky." 

​

In August, the Charleston Friends of the Library gave away almost 40 copies of the book to patrons of the Charleston County Public Library. 

 

Mbalia’s sequel "Tristan Strong Destroys the World" will be published in October by Rick Riordan Presents/Disney-Hyperion. He is a graduate of Howard University and currently resides in North Carolina with his wife and children.
