Lia Park And The Missing Jewel Book Tour

I’m beyond thrilled to be taking part in the Lia Park And The Missing Jewel Book Tour, hosted by Turn The Page Book Tours. Check out my review below!

Perfect for fans of the Storm Runner and Aru Shah series, this thrilling middle grade fantasy follows a young girl who must venture to the undersea kingdom of the Dragon King in Korea to save her parents from an evil diviner spirit.

Twelve-year old Lia Park just wants to fit in. Her parents work with a mysterious organization that makes them ridiculously overprotective. Lia’s every move has been scrutinized since she was born, and she’d love to have the option of doing something exciting for once. So when she gets invited to the biggest birthday party of the year—and her parents say she can’t go—Lia sneaks out.

But her first act of rebellion not only breaks her parents’ rules, but also an ancient protection spell, allowing an evil diviner spirit to kidnap and ransom her parents for a powerful jewel that her family has guarded for years. With just the clothes on her back and some very rusty magical skills, Lia finds herself chasing mysterious clues that take her to her grandmother’s home in Korea.

From there, she has to make their way to the undersea kingdom of the Dragon King, the only person who knows where the powerful jewel might be. Along with her friend, Joon, Lia must dig deep and find courage to stand up for those who are weak—and become the hero her parents need.

My Review

What a ride!! I absolutely fell in love with this story. Growing up I was a bit of a rebellious child so I instantly connected with Lia. This story is a perfect blend of magic and real life. I loved the Korean aspect Yoon flawlessly weaved through the book. Non-stop action and tension had me to late into the night trying to finish. I think pre-teens, teens and adults alike will gravitate to this book. Secret organizations, hidden magic and well drawn out characters, how can you go wrong!?!? You will definitely be waiting ever so impatiently for the next book in the series!

Once again I’m blown away by a debut author!! Joon has made me fan!
