Author Kwame Alexander to launch new trilogy this fall

A trilogy by award-winning children’s author Kwame Alexander that tells the saga of an African family begins this fall with ‘The Door of No Return.

The book will be published September 22, Little Brown and Company reported Tuesday. As indicated by the publisher, the three books follow the existences of 11-year-old Kofi and his family from pre-frontier Ghana to the "burdens and ponders" they face in Europe and America.

"Each story has a start, a center, and an end," Alexander said in an statement. "I composed this one since individuals need to realize that the center (section) was not our starting. I wanted to speak the truth about the history of African Americans, because while most of us are aware of the American part it’s time for us to know more about the African part, right?”

Alexander’s novel from 2015, ‘The Crossover,’ won the Newbery Medal for the year’s best children’s book. His other works include the novels ‘Booked’ and ‘He Said, She Said,’ the picture story ‘The Undefeated’ and the poetry collections ‘Kupenda’ and ‘Crush.’
