In this Chinese urban fantasy, PERCY JACKSON meets SPIRITED AWAY and JOURNEY TO THE WEST. ***** Born with blood in their veins that runs only half Chinese, Faryn Liu and her brother Alex are shunned by the other warriors in the Jade Society, an ancient Chinese order created to protect the people of Earth from demons. Yet Faryn longs to follow in the footsteps of her legendary warrior father, though her blood status will keep her from ever wielding a weapon. Then, everything changes when Faryn sneaks out on the night of Chinese New Year and, with the help of a strange old man, saves Chinatown from the wrath of the nian dragon. Days after the nian dragon has been slain, a god descends upon the Jade Society bearing a message with the opportunity of Faryn's lifetime. The Jade Emperor, ruler of the gods, has called upon his warriors to do what no mortals have managed before, and track down the mystical Peng Lai islands. Those who succeed will become immortalized as his Heavenly Generals. Demons that have been dormant for decades are stirring, and the Emperor knows war is on the horizon. Armed with a powerful spear given to her by a goddess, Faryn and her brother must find the islands and prove that they are as worthy to be named warriors as any others. But the road to glory is littered with more than tricky gods and vicious demons. It's paved with betrayal and death. And for Faryn, living up to her father's name and her own expectations might mean turning into a monster herself.

When Grace left town seeking a new start after her mother’s murder, becoming a Demon Innkeeper wasn’t exactly what she had in mind. With newspapers accusing her of killing her mother, and her PTSD too unpredictable to go out in public, Grace’s job options in the new city are limited. So when Japanese demons possessing objects around the new house come to her requesting she become their innkeeper, like her grandmother before her, she’s certain she is 1) desperate and 2) insane. But all four boys promise to protect the house—and more importantly, her and her father—from a man with a fedora looking to avenge the man she killed. The promise of safety outweighs her disbelief, and she accepts the supernatural position. Protecting the objects that keep them alive—a chandelier, a pair of oven mitts, a Japanese instrument, and least likely of all, a ragged little wishing well—proves difficult when her own heart is still in tatters. To keep her new rag tag group of friends, and herself, alive, Grace must face the truth of what happened the night her mother was murdered. As she does, she may even find a way to repair the dilapidated oven mitts hidden in the kitchen drawers, as well as the secretive, abused demon boy attached to it. That is, if the man with the fedora doesn’t kill her first. ***Updates Every Friday

If you're judging this book by its cover and title, you're already proving the point this story wants to make. Try to move past this satirical obstacle in front of you. This is a story about bullying, and like the hundreds of other books on the topic, it will show you the harsh reality of being discriminated, belittled, ridiculed for something you cannot control- how you look, who you love, or what you believe in. But unlike these books, this story's sole purpose is not to tear your heart out of your chest as you mourn over your loss of faith in humanity. Instead, this book will make you laugh and love alongside these characters. Just like in life, there will be moments of dread and surrender, but there will also be moments of happiness, laughter, and love. - Naomi Lorraine, better known as Nerdy Naomi with her thick-rimmed glasses and straight-A report card, is the most unpopular girl in her school. Even with the help of her sarcastic comebacks, that doesn't stop her from getting bullied by everyone in Dartwell High. Every day her childhood bully, Raymond Meyers, knocks her off her feet, literally. However, she can't do anything but survive the laughs, insults, and bruises high school gives her. There are three senior transfer students, dubbed the Three Musketeers: Bennett Frazier, Jordan Wallace, and Declan Lynch. All in one day, Naomi catches their attention one by one. With her snarky attitude, but innocent look, they can't help but want her. But not the way you're thinking. Oh no, not like that. Instead, it's probably the whole opposite. It's quite simple really. She'll be their good girl. And they'll be her bad boys. ~ [This story is a first draft written by a 13 to 15-year-old girl so it has its fair share of grammar mistakes and plot holes.] Wattys 2015 Talk of the Town Award Second Place Story of 2015 Best Humor and Overall Points of The Fiction Awards 2016 Third in the Writers Awards 2016 Highest Ranks: #1 Humor, #1 Teen Fiction
