**STARRED REVIEW**
"A tough, self-disciplined Chinese-American teen deals with the
supernatural derailing of her college-prep activities in this
speculative fiction novel that draws on the folklore of the Chinese
Monkey King... An exciting, engaging, and humorous debut that will
appeal widely, this wraps up neatly enough but leaves an opening
for further installments—here's hoping."
*Kirkus Reviews*
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Genie's perspective on the strange turn her life has taken will
have readers laughing out loud...Hilarious and action-packed, this
fantastically executed tale of the Monkey King in modern-day
California introduces a great new character in Genie Lo."
*School Library Journal*
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Yee builds a world filled with characters that carry the
page-turning plot... presented in a distinctive way, combined with
Yee’s vivid action scenes that take place in a familiar setting,
will send readers searching for more tales about Sun Wukong."
