Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Yoon Ha Lee's space opera
about thirteen-year-old Min, who comes from a long line of fox
spirits.
**
**But you'd never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe,
Min's mother insists that none of them use any fox-magic, such as Charm
or shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times.
Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless
chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She
would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected,
dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She's counting the days until she
can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of
the Thousand Worlds.
When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in
search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would
never desert his battle cruiser, even for a mystical object rumored to
have tremendous power. She decides to run away to find him and clear his
name.
Min's quest will have her meeting gamblers, pirates, and vengeful
ghosts. It will involve deception, lies, and sabotage. She will be
forced to use more fox-magic than ever before, and to rely on all of her
cleverness and bravery. The outcome may not be what she had hoped, but
it has the potential to exceed her wildest dreams.
This sci-fi adventure with the underpinnings of Korean mythology will
transport you to a world far beyond your imagination.
Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians,
soon to be a series on Disney+.
