All Momo wants for her twelfth birthday is an ordinary life—like 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 Momo’s mother falls
gravely ill and a death hag straight out of those childhood stories attacks Momo at the mall
where she’s rescued by a talking fox . . . and ordinary” 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
Yomi—a.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
Danny—her former best friend turned popular jerk whom she never planned to speak to again
much less save the world with—Momo must embrace her (definitely not ordinary) identity as half
human half goddess to unlock her divine powers save her mother’s life and force the demons
back to Yomi.
