A young African boy lives most of his childhood in Texas. “Prince” is the name his parents call him ever since he was a young boy.

The name, “Prince”, would often cause Amadi to wonder about the meaning and importance of the name. Young Amadi knows about his Nigerian roots, but he has never visited his homeland. When his parents first announce they are traveling back home to Africa, Amadi becomes very happy and curious about traveling home to Nigeria. Amadi decides to bring along his talking parrot, Azu, knowing it would be more exciting to go on adventures with his parrot friend. Amadi and his parents arrive in Nigeria to homecoming celebrations that are very traditional and fun.

During the festivities, Amadi learns that he is a real Prince from the bloodline of mighty warriors who were gifted a magical treasure forest by the earth goddess. At first, everyone in the palace, including his parents, try to convince Amadi that the magical treasure forest is a folktale which does not exist. However, the mystery of the magical forest begins to unfold when Amadi realizes that the old woman he saved from the mischievous acts of bullies looks exactly like the painting on the wall of the earth goddess of the Golden Kingdom.

Through Prince Amadi’s acts of kindness and wisdom, the goddess is impressed by him. First, she gives him a magical golden stone to guide him to the treasure forest. Amadi almost loses the stone when the Tree Tribesmen accost him, claiming that the treasured stone belongs to them. Amadi is in a hard situation. How can he give up the golden stone, which is of great value, when the goddess asked him to keep it safe? He is left with two choices: show courage or give up the treasure stone!

There is more for Amadi to discover in the Golden Kingdom. The more hurdles he encounters, the stronger and wiser he becomes until the inhabitants of the Golden Kingdom recognize him for who he is: The Prince of the Golden Kingdom.
