Cameron suspects that his parents' death has something to do with the book, especially when he is hailed as the hero who can save Chidani because he is a descendant of the founders. They manage to get sucked into the book and travel to Chidani, a secret country in Nigeria where the queen, Ramala, has been replaced by her sister, Amina, who does not have the best interest of the people of Chidani OR the people in Cameron's realm at heart. Cameron used to read the book with his best friend, Zion, and when bad weather in Atlanta has the two stuck inside with another friend, Aliyah, they read the book against the grandmother's wishes. The Book of Chidani is based on Igbo legends, but his grandmother has banished the book to the attic and forbidden Cameron from reading it because it brings up so many memories for her. Cameron, who is being raised by his grandmother after his parents' deaths, has always taken comfort in a family heirloom book.
