The memories of her extended family are more like distant echoes; she has a tough time speaking Vietnamese; and she can't help but feel like she just isn't Vietnamese enough. Still, this is her chance to reconnect with her family, especially her Ong ngoai--or grandfather--who is receiving a big award. That's when Ong ngoai reveals his secret: He knows the location of anancient legendary crossbow, one with the power to decimate armies--and he's hidden it away from those who intend to use its magic for evil. But when Ong ngoai is kidnapped, it's up to Freddie, her cousin Lien, and a mysterious boy named Duy to get to thecrossbow before it ends up in the wrong hands"--Provided by publisher. - Scholastic
