The Invincible List of Lani Li (e-book) (used book) | bookbook.eu

Description

A challenge from her little brother and a Chinese fable inspire Lani Li to hit every note of invincible bravery on her band trip to London.

Thirteen-year-old Lani Li has grown up with the legendary tales of the Eight Invincible Brothers--Chinese heroes who used their superpowers to conquer every challenge. Lani has always wished she could be as brave as them. Now, she's about to face her own test of courage.

When her elite performance band is chosen to perform in London, Lani should be thrilled. But with too many fears to count and her little brother, Gavin, unable to join her due to a serious heart condition, the trip feels more daunting than exciting. Before she leaves, Gavin gives her a challenge: tap into her own hidden strength by embodying the Eight Invincible Brothers--each with a special power.

In London, Lani creates her own "Invincible List" based on the fable, and as she checks off each quality, she discovers that these "superpowers" might not be as far-fetched as they seem. But when the final challenge demands that she face a daunting fear--running down the famous Cooper's Hill in a wild cheese race--Lani wonders if she has what it takes to complete the list.

With her brother's courage as her guide, can Lani conquer her fears and prove she's invincible in her own way? Or will this last challenge be the one that defeats her?

Filled with heart, adventure, and a dash of humor, The Invincible List of Lani Li is a story about finding strength in unexpected places--and learning that the greatest superpower might just be believing in yourself.
