the battle in Hong Kong, Grace and her friends have been trying to

Grace away to the Dragon King's lair, she learns that Daijiang and
his underlings are searching for an ancient relic that will let

mysterious evildoers. When Grace moves to Hong Kong with her mum

dragon egg during a field trip, Grace discovers that the wonderful
stories of dragons she heard when she was a young girl might
actually be real - especially when the egg hatches overnight. The
dragon has immense powers that Grace has yet to understand. And
that puts them both in danger from mysterious forces intent on
abusing the dragon's power. And now it's up to Grace and her school
friends to uncover the sinister plot threatening the entire city!

Fed up with teenage life in the suburbs, Jaimal Yogis ran off to
Hawaii with little more than a copy of Hermann Hesse's "Siddhartha"
and enough cash for a surfboard. His journey is a coming-of-age
saga that takes him from communes to monasteries, from the warm
Pacific to the icy New York shore. Equal parts spiritual memoir and
surfer's tale, this is a chronicle of finding meditative focus in
the barrel of a wave and eternal truth in the great salty blue.
In this meditative memoir-a compelling fusion of Barbarian Days and
the journals of Thomas Merton-the author of Saltwater Buddha
reflects on his "failing toward enlightenment," his continued
search to find meaning and a greater understanding of grace in the
world's oceans as well as everyday life. Born to a family of
seekers, Jaimal Yogis left home at sixteen to surf in Hawaii and
join a monastery-an adventure he chronicled in Saltwater Buddha.
Now, in his early twenties, his heart is broken and he's lost his
way. Hitting the road again, he lands in a monastery in Dharamsala,
where he meets Sonam, a displaced Tibetan. To help his friend,
Jaimal makes a cockamamie attempt to reunite him with his family in
Tibet by way of America. Though he does not succeed, witnessing
Sonam's spirit in the face of failure offers Jaimal a deeper
understanding of faith. When the two friends part, he cannot fathom
the unlikely circumstances that will reunite them. All Our Waves
Are Water follows Jaimal's trek from the Himalayas to Indonesia; to
a Franciscan Friary in New York City to the dusty streets of
Jerusalem; and finally to San Francisco's Ocean Beach. Along his
journey, Jaimal prays and surfs; mourning a lost love and seeking
something that keeps eluding him. The poet Rumi wrote, "We are not
a drop in the ocean. We are the ocean in a drop." All Our Waves Are
Water is Jaimal's "attempt to understand the ocean in a drop, to
find that one moon shining in the water everywhere"-to find the
mystery that unites us.
