Description

In a kingdom filled with magic, Jiho Park and his non-magical family are an anomaly. As a descendant of forest rangers, Jiho is meant to protect the Kidahara, a mysterious forest home to supernatural creatures. However, Jiho wants nothing to do with it after his father and Princess Koko disappeared there five years ago. Now, as foreign forces and a long-forgotten evil threaten the forest, Jiho must team up with a bandit leader and the lost princess to save their world. Perfect for fans of Wing & Claw, this must-have middle grade novel is from We Need Diverse Books cofounder Ellen Oh! The novel is praised for its strange terrains, creatures, magic, and an enthralling storyline. Ellen Oh draws on Korean lore and culture to reinvigorate the fantasy genre with humor, inventive magic, and thrilling action.
