Nizhoni Begay has been able to detect monsters  like that man in the fancy suit who was in the
bleachers at her basketball game. Turns out he's Mr. Charles  her dad's new boss at the oil and
gas company  and he's alarmingly interested in Nizhoni and her brother  Mac  their Navajo
heritage  and the legend of the Hero Twins. Nizhoni knows he's a threat  but her father won't
believe her. When Dad disappears the next day  leaving behind a message that says Run!  the
siblings and Nizhoni's best friend  Davery  are thrust into a rescue mission that can only be
accomplished with the help of Diné Holy People  all disguised as quirky characters. Their aid
will come at a price: the kids must pass a series of trials in which it seems like nature
itself is out to kill them. If Nizhoni  Mac  and Davery can reach the House of the Sun  they
will be outfitted with what they need to defeat the ancient monsters Mr. Charles has unleashed.
But it will take more than weapons for Nizhoni to become the hero she was destined to be . . .
Timeless themes such as the importance of family and respect for the land resonate in this
funny  fast-paced  and exciting quest adventure set in the American Southwest. Endorsed by Rick
Riordan  author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians  soon to be a series on Disney+.
