"Accidentally transported to the Shinto underworld called Yomi, Anzu discovers the queen of this realm has been kidnapping the spirits of lost children for decades and is torn between escaping or staying to help the trapped spirits as she fights her way back home. Simultaneous and eBook. Illustrations." - Penguin Putnam
5 Worlds meets Spirited Away in this tale of a girl fighting her way back home after getting trapped in the spirit world.
Anzu has just moved to a new town during Obon, a time for families to remember and celebrate their ancestors. Ever since her obaachan died, though, Obon has lost its magic. She doesn't feel much like celebrating anymore.
While avoiding holiday festivities, Anzu spots a stray dog down the street. A dog that seems to be staring right at her. But when she chases after it, she slips and falls down a ridge, losing consciousness. When she awakes, sheâs in the Shinto underworld known as Yomi, a place sheâs only heard about in Obaachanâs stories. The stray dog, she finds out, is actually the Gatekeeper of Yomi, and he warns her to return to the human realm before itâs too late.
Only, getting home is not as simple as sheâd thought. Faced with the nefarious Queen Izanami of Yomi and a world full of creatures sheâd once thought werenât real, the race against the clock is on. She must break a curse, free the spirits of other lost children, and reach the gate home before sunrise…or be stuck in Yomi forever.
