Description
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents best-selling YA author Stacey Lee's final book in her debut middle grade duology: a whimsical, mile-a-minute adventure inspired by Chinese mythology. Winston Chu might have stopped Mr. Pang (the magpie-turned-human) from stealing the moon's qi, but now he has an even bigger problem: Mr. Pang's older brother, Mr. Gu--who is supposed to be a long-time, trusted family friend and is currently running for mayor of San Francisco. Surely, he couldn't be the villain intent on taking over the world that his younger brother has made him out to be? And yet as all sorts of exotic birds begin amassing in the skies (and on the sidewalks, and on the school playground), there's no denying something . . . fowl . . . is afoot. What's more, a persistent fog has swept over the city--a fog that seems to be turning Winston's friends and neighbors into mindless zombies. Armed with just a few helpful whimsies (Far-Seeing Eyeball, anyone?), it's time for Winston to take the lead and save his friends--but the only one with the answers Winston needs His old nemesis, Mr. Pang. Sigh. Well, no one ever said it was easy being the hero. A perfect blend of laugh-out-loud humor, action, and zaniness as Winston's wild, magical ride comes to a satisfying end. Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+. Look for these other exciting adventures from Rick Riordan Presents:
