Publisher's summary
Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Lori M. Lee's middle-grade debut about a lonely Hmong girl who discovers she's a powerful shaman warrior in this fantasy inspired by Southeast Asian mythology.
"I love the adventures Pahua has in this book. I also love the sense of humor, the clever plotting, and the fantastic cast of characters. But most of all I love Pahua: her courage, her kindness, and her love for family." (NYT best-selling author Rick Riordan)
Pahua Moua has a bit of a reputation for being a weirdo. A lonely 11-year-old Hmong girl with the unique ability to see spirits, she spends her summer days babysitting her little brother and playing with her best friend, a cat spirit no one else can see.
One day Pahua accidentally untethers an angry spirit from the haunted bridge in her neighborhood - whoops. When her brother suddenly falls sick and can't be awoken, Pahua fears that the bridge spirit has stolen his soul. She returns to the scene of the crime with her aunt's old shaman tools, hoping to confront the spirit and demand her brother's return. Instead, she summons a demon.
Thankfully, a warrior shaman with a bit of an attitude problem shows up at the last minute and saves her butt. With the help of this guide, Pahua will have to find her way through the spirit worlds and rescue her brother's soul before it's too late. Little does she know she'll have her own discoveries to make along the way....
With its unforgettable characters, unique nature-based magic system, breathtaking twists and reveals, and climactic boss battle, this story based on Hmong oral tradition offers everything a fantasy lover could want. Complete your middle-grade fantasy collection with these best-selling fan favorites: Rick Riordan Presents Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi; Rick Riordan Presents Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee Rick; Riordan Presents The Last Fallen Star by Graci Kim; The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series by Rick Riordan.

Thirteen-year-old Min comes from a long line of fox spirits. But you'd never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min's mother insists none of them use any fox-magic such as charm or shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She's counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces.

Twelve-year-old Percy Jackson is about to be kicked out of boarding school...again. No matter how hard he tries, he can't seem to stay out of trouble. But can he really be expected to stand by and watch while a bully picks on his scrawny best friend? Or not defend himself against his pre-algebra teacher when she turns into a monster and tries to kill him? Of course, no one believes Percy about the monster incident; he's not even sure he believes himself.

Amari Peters has never stopped believing her missing brother, Quinton, is alive. Not even when the police told her otherwise, or when she got in trouble for standing up to bullies who said he was gone for good. So when she finds a ticking briefcase in his closet, containing a nomination for a summer tryout at the Bureau of Supernatural Affairs, she’s certain the secretive organization holds the key to locating Quinton - if only she can wrap her head around the idea of magicians, fairies, aliens, and other supernatural creatures all being real.

The kids at school call Billy "Dragon Breath" for good reason. His breath is bad! It isn't the normal, morning-mouth bad; it's the hot-as-fire, "don't-you-dare-get-near-me" bad. And hearing "Dragon Breath" ringing in his ears, he constantly tries to cool his oral volcano. Trouble erupts when his hot breath sets off the fire sprinklers in the boys' restroom at school, and his parents learn that they've kept their secret for too long. Billy finally discovers the secret. His father was once a dragon!

You define life or it defines you. In Shawn Speakman’s case, it was both. Lacking health insurance and diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in 2011, Shawn quickly accrued a massive medical debt that he did not have the ability to pay. That’s when New York Times best-selling author Terry Brooks offered to donate a short story that Shawn could sell to help alleviate those bills—and suggested he ask the same of his other writer friends. Unfettered is the result: An anthology built in order to relieve that debt, featuring short stories by some of the best fantasy writers in the genre.

In the deep forests of Kyonin, elves live secretively among their own kind, far from the prying eyes of other races. Few of impure blood are allowed beyond the nation's borders, and thus it's a great honor for the half-elven Count Varian Jeggare and his hellspawn bodyguard, Radovan, to be allowed inside. Yet all is not well in the elven kingdom: Demons stir in its depths, and an intricate web of politics seems destined to catch the two travelers in its snares.

Great Book (Hmong review)
I was so shock when I saw a book about Hmong people (my people) cuz a lot of people don't even know who we are half the time. I always have to go into a long speech about how we came from China (therefor we are Chinese/ancestor are Chinese) but migrate to southeast Asia. We don't think of ourselves as Chinese and we have our own culture and language. AND NO WE ARE NOT TAIWANESE!!! Just cuz a lot of Hmong people are from Thailand does not mean we are TAIWANESE which is an island near China. Thailand is in the southeast Asia which is below China. FYI people from Thailand are call Thai not Thaiese or TAIWANESE. So yeah after years of always explaining the above, it was so refreshing to find a story about my people.
Background:
I am fluent in speaking and understanding Hmong so for once I wasn't lost in all the vocabulary and able to keep up. (looking at you Aru Shah with your crazy vocabulary I am always looking up lol ) This story was very easy for me to follow as my mom is a shaman. So most of the shaman stuff was super easy to understand. My aunt is also a shaman. So yeah this book really hit close to home for me.
Good:
Zhong- I love her. I really glad we got a side character and we really got to know her for once. We got her back story, her personality, value, and her developing friendship with Pahua, I have read almost every single story in the Rick Riordan present and a lot of the 2nd character are lacking. Not that they are bad but we rarely ever get to really know them. For ex: In Aru Shah there are 5 girls and you don't know much about them. You know the basic like their family, past, and struggles. However, I don't really see much of a developing friendship with them. Aru always seem scared to open up to them or tell them stuff. Pahua really open up to Zhong even about stuff she ashamed of. (like her dad leaving and how she always feel she not good enough) In Paola Santiago her best friend Emma is hardly in the book. She was missing in book one and book 2 she a side character. So yeah, very refreshing to get such an awesome side character who play such a big part of the story. She also represent something a lot of Hmong people/Asian people deal with. We are always striving for our parent love, respect, and for them to be proud of us. However, our parent never really show us much affection. We feel that we need to go the extreme, like Zhong quest, just to gain their approve and realize we are enough even without it. (well Pahua at least feel she enough; it was never clear did Zhong finally stop caring so much about what her family think of her)
Pahua- She was refreshing hero. Her story didn't count on her having amazing power or crazy battle. It was more of her just discovering who she is and that she is enough. Again, something a lot of Asian people go though cuz our parent always made us feel like we aren't enough. (She also love ramen and every Hmong person eat Raman like crazy growing up)
Hmong myth- I learn quite a bit more about our people story and I really enjoy it. I knew a few but the new one was really interesting.
The bad:
I didn't like that she never explain where Hmong people came from. No one even know who we are half the time. I would love it if she started the story with Pahua explaining more of where we came from, our history, and struggle so people know who we are.
Other:
The speaker/reader of the audio book spoke great Hmong. I understood a lot of the thing she say. Some words do confuse me but I am a Yang (white) so maybe she speaking from Green or different clan pronunciation. Also maybe it is a higher vocabulary word I don;t use often that confuse me. Either way she did a great job. I was very impress.

Surprisingly good listen
So interesting learning about Hmong folklore and about the journey of Hmong shamans into the other realm. Some pretty creepy stuff too.
The narrator was good except for the pronunciation of the Hmong words and names. It was a little confusing and sometimes sounded forced. But overall, I enjoyed the story and look forward to seeing if this will become a series.
I think it would make a great movie if it had a nice production budget!
