The Epic Crush of Genie Lo

F. C. Yee

Genie Lo is a sixteen-year-old Chinese American living among ambitious students in a quiet Bay Area suburb. She excels at standardized tests and takes on bad guys, but larger questions interrupt her ordinary life: could she be the reincarnation of a weapon from mythology, and is Quentin the immortal Monkey King? The story follows Genie as those questions draw her into a fast-moving fantasy adventure shaped by Chinese mythological figures.
