Unleash the power of magic and adventure with this middle-grade debut novel, perfect for ages 9 to 13.
"When 12-year-old Jamie visits the Museum of Fine Arts, he doesn't expect to stumble into a world of gods, yaoguai, and immortal beings-including an old imprisoned monkey from Chinese mythology. But when a simple field trip turns into a life-or-death struggle, Jamie discovers a mysterious power within himself -Qi.
Thrust into a secret society rooted in Boston's Chinatown, Jamie must learn to control this ancient energy while unraveling shocking truths about his family. Armed with a rusty quarterstaff and joined by old and new friends, he embarks on a dangerous quest to save his mother and stop an ancient evil from unleashing chaos on the world. In a race against time, Jamie will face mythical monsters, awaken his inner strength, and discover what it truly means to be a hero." With fast-paced action and an unlikely hero inspired by Asian mythology, this book is perfect for fans of the video game Black Myth Wukong, Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series and Roshani Chokshi's Aru Shah and the End of Time. It will appeal to readers who love fantasy books with magic, monsters and Asian mythology elements, as well as fans of the Anime/Manga series NARUTO.
