<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Genie Lo is one among droves of Ivy-hopeful overachievers in her sleepy Bay Area suburb. You know, the type who wins. When she's not crushing it at volleyball or hitting the books, Genie is typically working on how to crack the elusive Harvard entry code. But when her hometown comes under siege from hellspawn straight out of Chinese folklore, her priorities are dramatically rearranged. Enter Quentin Sun, a mysterious new kid in class who becomes Genie's self-appointed guide to battling demons. While Genie knows Quentin only as an attractive transfer student with an oddly formal command of the English language, in another reality he is Sun Wukong, the mythological Monkey King incarnate--right down to the furry tail and penchant for peaches. Suddenly, acing the SATs is the least of Genie's worries. The fates of her friends, family, and the entire Bay Area all depend on her summoning an inner power that Quentin assures her is strong enough to level the very gates of Heaven. But every second Genie spends tapping into the secret of her true nature is a second in which the lives of her loved ones hang in the balance.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>From the <i>New York Times </i>and <i>USA Today </i>bestselling author of <i>Avatar: The Last Airbender: The Rise of Kyoshi</i></b> <p/> Genie Lo is one among droves of Ivy-hopeful overachievers in her sleepy Bay Area suburb. When she's not crushing it at volleyball, Genie is typically working on how to crack the elusive Harvard entry code. But when her hometown comes under siege from hellspawn straight out of Chinese folklore, her priorities are dramatically rearranged. Enter Quentin Sun, a mysterious new kid who becomes Genie's guide to battling demons. While Genie knows Quentin only as an attractive transfer student, in another reality he is Sun Wukong, the mythological Monkey King incarnate. Suddenly, acing the SATs is the least of Genie's worries. <p/> This epic debut draws from Chinese mythology, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of Genie's grounded Bay Area life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding. <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "A tough, self-disciplined Chinese-American teen deals with the supernatural derailing of her college-prep activities in this speculative fiction novel that draws on the folklore of the Chinese Monkey King... An exciting, engaging, and humorous debut that will appeal widely, this wraps up neatly enough but leaves an opening for further installments--here's hoping."-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Genie's perspective on the strange turn her life has taken will have readers laughing out loud...Hilarious and action-packed, this fantastically executed tale of the Monkey King in modern-day California introduces a great new character in Genie Lo."-- "School Library Journal"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "In this dazzlingly fun debut, Yee mixes humor, Chinese folklore, and action to deliver a rousing, irreverent adventure packed with sharp-edged banter."-- "Publishers Weekly"<br><br>**STARRED REVIEW** <br> "Yee builds a world filled with characters that carry the page-turning plot... presented in a distinctive way, combined with Yee's vivid action scenes that take place in a familiar setting, will send readers searching for more tales about Sun Wukong."-- "VOYA" (9/22/2017 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>F. C. Yee grew up in New Jersey and went to school in New England. His first book with Abrams, <i>The Epic Crush of Genie Lo</i>, released in 2017 to critical acclaim and four starred reviews.
