Description

Percy Jackson meets Yu-Gi-Oh in this hilarious, action-packed fantasy adventure.

Zachary Ying has never had much chance to learn about his Chinese heritage. So when he’s chosen to host the spirit of the First Emperor of China for a vital mission, he is woefully unprepared. As a result, the emperor botches his attempt to possess Zack’s body and binds to his AR gaming headset instead.

With the legendary tyrant yapping in his headset, Zack must journey across China to steal magical artifacts and defeat figures from history and myth. Using his newfound water dragon powers, can Zack complete the mission in time to save the mortal world?

From the No. 1 bestselling author of Iron Widow, Xiran Jay Zhao!

I loved this book, I read it in one sitting. The story was engaging and will really draw kids in and I loved the Chinese heritage aspect of the story. I loved it.

A epic adventure brimming with Chinese historical and cultural legends possessing kids and trying to save China! Incorporating a hi-tech version of Pokemon Go - if the Pokemon were scorned chinese spirits and monsters - memes, and spirit weapons, if Zachary Ying isn't on your TBR, it SHOULD be!
