Rick Riordan Presents: Dragon Pearl
Thirteen-year-old Min comes from a long line of fox spirits, but you'd never know it by looking at her. Struggling to keep up with her chores and her mother's rules, Min dreams of joining her brother, Jun, in the space forces. When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows he would never abandon his duty, and sets out to clear his name . . .
A multi-layered tale with exquisite world building, Dragon Pearl creates an incredible intersection of technology and culture, replete with nuanced magic, family drama, and sweeping adventure.
"Lee skillfully weaves Korean folklore into a space opera narrative, creating dynamic and relatable characters. With ghosts, pirates, and a rollicking adventure, there is a little something for everyone." -- School Library Journal
