DRAGON PEARL - YOON HA LEE TASCHENBUCH

Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Yoon Ha Lee's space opera about thirteen-year-old Min
who comes from a long line of fox spirits. But you'd never know it by looking at her. To keep
the family safe  Min's mother insists that none of them use any fox-magic  such as Charm or
shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times. Min feels hemmed in by the household rules
and resents the endless chores  the cousins who crowd her  and the aunties who judge her. She
would like nothing more than to escape Jinju  her neglected  dust-ridden  and impoverished
planet. She's counting the days until she can follow her older brother  Jun  into the Space
Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds. When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving
his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl  Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would
never desert his battle cruiser  even for a mystical object rumored to have tremendous power.
She decides to run away to find him and clear his name. Min's quest will have her meeting
gamblers  pirates  and vengeful ghosts. It will involve deception  lies  and sabotage. She will
be forced to use more fox-magic than ever before  and to rely on all of her cleverness and
bravery. The outcome may not be what she had hoped  but it has the potential to exceed her
wildest dreams. This sci-fi adventure with the underpinnings of Korean mythology will transport
you to a world far beyond your imagination. Endorsed by Rick Riordan  author of Percy Jackson
and the Olympians  soon to be a series on Disney+.
