Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Winston Chu vs. The Whimsies, a modern reimagining of a classic Chinese folktale?replete with magic, boba, and lots of trash talking by Stacey Lee. It is a story full of humor, family and magic, all revolving around a courageous young hero to delight middle-grade readers.
Stacey Lee is the New York Times and Indie bestselling author of historical and contemporary young adult fiction, including The Downstairs Girl, a Reese’s Book Club Late Summer 2021 YA pick, and her most recent novel, Luck of the Titanic, which received five starred reviews. A native of southern California and fourth-generation Chinese American, she is a co-founder of the We Need Diverse Books movement.
“I love the way Lee weaves together Chinese folklore and modern San Francisco into a magical book so clever and fun it just demands to be read aloud with the whole family or the whole classroom.” -Rick Riordan
"Lee deftly crafts an adventure that strings together seemingly random clues only to have them fall satisfyingly into place in the end. Themes of friendships, grief, and family love are explored throughout . . . There’s plenty of magic, healing, and love to enjoy on this roller-coaster ride."??Kirkus Reviews
