For the 45th episode of Bookin', host Jason Jefferies is joined by Kwame Mbalia, author of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky, a Rick Riordan Presents book that is published by our friends at Disney/Hyperion.  Topics discussed include what it is like to join a publishing empire that includes Mickey Mouse, Marvel Comics and Star Wars, whether or not comic books are real books, the lyrics to the most annoying song you have ever heard, African American folklore, West African Gods, and much more.  Signed copies of Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky can be preordered in-store or online here (while supplies last).
