A thrilling and charming middle grade fantasy steeped in Japanese
lore and mythology, perfect for fans of the Zachary Ying series.
Tessa Miyata has never fit in. When she and her two sisters are
told they will be staying at their grandparents in Japan, Tessa is
thrilled. A summer in Japan could be her chance to go on an
adventure worthy of impressing her classmates back home. Her hopes
are quickly dashed when, all too soon, she realizes that life in
Japan is just like being in California: her sisters are old enough
to go into Tokyo, while she can't even go to the corner store by
herself. Plus, her grandparents want her to stay home with the
neighbor kid, thirteen-year-old Jin Uehara, who's made it clear
he's too cool to spend time with a weirdo like her. When Tessa is
finally allowed to go to Tokyo, it's only to join her grandpa's
retiree aerobic class with none other than Jin. Their disastrous
forced hang out comes crashing to a halt when Tessa and Jin break
the Miyata family's precious heirloom-accidentally releasing the
malicious samurai god Taira Masakado and discovering a hidden part
of the city where gods and mythological creatures walk among
humans-including their new companion, a mythical nine-tailed fox
who may be more trouble than he is help. Despite doing everything
to avoid spending another minute together, Tessa and Jin must now
work together to stop Taira Masakado before he traps them-and the
rest of Tokyo-under his command, forever. Perfect for fans of Rick
Riordan and Graci Kim, this brand new fantasy adventure will grip
readers from the very first page and never let go.
