Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Lori M. Lee’s middle grade debut about a lonely Hmong girl who discovers she’s a powerful shaman warrior in this fantasy inspired by Southeast Asian mythology.

Pahua Moua has a bit of a reputation for being a weirdo. A lonely eleven-year-old Hmong girl with the unique ability to see spirits, she spends her summer days babysitting her little brother and playing with her best friend, a cat spirit no one else can see.
One day Pahua accidentally untethers an angry spirit from the haunted bridge in her neighborhood–whoops. When her brother suddenly falls sick and can’t be awoken, Pahua fears that the bridge spirit has stolen his soul. She returns to the scene of the crime with her aunt’s old shaman tools, hoping to confront the spirit and demand her brother’s return. Instead, she summons a demon.

Thankfully, a warrior shaman with a bit of an attitude problem shows up at the last minute and saves her butt. With the help of this guide, Pahua will have to find her way through the spirit worlds and rescue her brother’s soul before it’s too late. Little does she know she’ll have her own discoveries to make along the way. . . .

With its unforgettable characters, unique nature-based magic system, breathtaking twists and reveals, and climactic boss battle, this story based on Hmong oral tradition offers everything a fantasy lover could want.

 

My Review

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Rick Riordan Presents another amazing book! I’ve not come across a book in this imprint that I haven’t fallen in love with – this one being one of my favorites.

Pahua and the Soul Stealer introduced me to the Hmong culture, people from China with a tradition for oral storytelling. Pahua is an refugee, now living in Wisconsin – and she doesn’t exactly fit in. Her dad has left the family and mom is always working, so Pahua spends a lot of time babysitting her baby brother, Matt. Besides Matt she has another best friend, Miv (a cat spirit) who is full of fun snarkiness. Pahua can see spirits and it’s her biggest secret to keep. One day when she tries to talk to the spirit of a little girl, everything changes and now Matt’s life is hanging in the balance.

I totally loved this entire book, from beginning to end I couldn’t put it down. Pahua is utterly relatable. I think that all ages will fall in love. I love learning about different cultures and mythology and Rick Riordan Presents books dive right into all of it in such a creative way. Bravo!
