About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like they are constantly falling behind or battling a streak of bad luck. It is perfect for children who struggle with the pressure of high expectations and need to see that their perceived weaknesses might actually be their greatest strengths. In this Japanese mythology inspired adventure, Tessa Miyata enters a magical tournament at the Academy of Gods to save her friend, the Unlucky God. While the plot is fast paced and full of magical battles, the heart of the story explores cultural identity, the value of loyalty, and the courage it takes to be a mortal among immortals. It is an empowering choice for middle grade readers who enjoy high stakes fantasy but need a grounded, relatable protagonist who learns to find her own voice.
