I was reading above my level but had no interest in teenage vampires or the cheating spouses over in adult fiction, but the books aimed at my age were all starting to seem childish after reading a couple hundred of them. Middle-grade age is when I got really obsessed with reading and plowed through just about anything I could get my hands on, until I ran out of things that were interesting or difficult enough. Now, with one of history's most infamous tyrants yapping in his headset, Zack must journey across China to heist magical artifacts and defeat figures from history and myth, all while learning to wield the emperor's incredible water dragon powers.Īnd if Zack can't finish the mission in time, the spirits of the underworld will flood into the mortal realm, and he could lose his mom forever.I love Yu-Gi-Oh, I’ve watched all the shows and still play the card game to this day, so when I saw Chinese Percy Jackson meet Yu-Gi-Oh! I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy. The mission takes an immediate wrong turn when the First Emperor botches his attempt to possess Zack's body and binds to Zack's AR gaming headset instead, leading to a battle where Zack's mom's soul gets taken by demons. So Zack is woefully unprepared when he discovers he was born to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission: sealing the leaking portal to the Chinese underworld before the upcoming Ghost Month blows it wide open.
His single mom was busy enough making sure they got by, and his schools never taught anything except Western history and myths.
Zachary Ying never had many opportunities to learn about his Chinese heritage. Percy Jackson meets Tristan Strong in this hilarious middle grade "edge-of-your-seat adventure" (James Ponti, New York Times bestselling author of City Spies) that follows a young boy as he journeys across China to seal the underworld shut and save the mortal realm.
