Description
Book Synopsis: Twelve-year-old Evie Mei Huang never did like helping in her mom's tailor shop. She hated helping to mend fraying clothes, how the measuring tape got all twisted up, and how pushy her mother's clients were. Most of all, she hates that her mother is dead and isn't here to help anymore.
But when the universe sends a life preserver, Evie knows to grab it. So yes, it's weird when a talking monkey shows up and tells her that her plainspoken, hardworking tailor mother was actually the head of a Guild of magical weavers who can change the fate of a person with only a spool of thread. Very weird. But he also comes bearing news that her mother is trapped in Diyu, the Chinese underworld, and that only Evie can get her back. No pressure.
The important thing is that Evie's mom isn't dead. And if she's got this one shot to bring her back and save her family, she's got to take it.
Inspired by Chinese mythology, Aimee Lim's debut middle grade peers into the dark and gritty underworld, while showcasing the unbreakable bond between a family and the lengths we'll go to save them.
