A thrilling fantasy series about a twelve year old girl who sets out to save her Shinto goddess motherâand the worldâby facing down demons intent on bringing chaos.
âA grand adventure.â âBrandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fablehaven
âA wild ride of a novel…hilarious.â âSayantani DasGupta, New York Times bestselling author of The Kingdom Beyond
All Momo wants for her twelfth birthday is an ordinary lifeâlike everyone else's. At home, she has to take care of her absentminded widowed mother. At school, kids ridicule her for mixing up reality with the magical stories her mother used to tell her.
But then Momoâs mother falls gravely ill, and a death hag straight out of those childhood stories attacks Momo at the mall, where sheâs rescued by a talking fox . . . and âordinaryâ goes out the window. It turns out that Momo's mother is a banished Shinto goddess who used to protect a long-forgotten passageway to Yomiâa.k.a. the land of the dead. That passageway is now under attack, and countless evil spirits threaten to escape and wreak havoc across the earth.
Joined by Niko the fox and Dannyâher former best friend turned popular jerk, whom she never planned to speak to again, much less save the world withâMomo must embrace her (definitely not "ordinary") identity as half human, half goddess to unlock her divine powers, save her motherâs life, and force the demons back to Yomi.
