Everyone knows the story of Chihiro, the young girl who braved the spirit world to save her parents from being turned into swine. But this isn't her story. Set years later, 18-year-old Asumi Hito, a determined half-spirit, half-human, returns to the spirit world on a daring mission: to save her younger brother, Kaji, from the clutches of Yubaba, a powerful witch-and who is, shockingly, her own aunt. Adventure, magic, and danger await as Asumi confronts the secrets of her family and the spirit world itself. ------------------------------------------------------- All Rights Reserved © Lark Jaro-Adonay 2012
