About this ebook
“It’s Hermione Granger meets Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon meets the Ice Capades meets Mean Girls . . . [a] spirited heroine.” —New York Times
Welcome to Pearl Famous Academy of Skate and Sword, where the blades are sharp and the competition is fierce.
Peasprout Chen dreams of becoming a legend of wu liu, the deadly and beautiful art of martial arts figure skating.
As the first students from the rural country of Shin to attend Pearl Famous Academy of Skate and Sword, Peasprout and her little brother Cricket have some pretty big skates to fill. They soon find themselves in a heated competition for top ranking.
Tensions rise when the dazzling pearl buildings of the Academy are vandalized and outsider Peasprout is blamed for the attacks by her rivals . . . and even some friends.
Now, she must uncover the true vandal to ensure peace between Shin and Pearl—all while becoming a champion.
“Peasprout Chen is my new favorite heroine of young people’s literature.” —Daniel José Older, New York Times–bestselling author
“Massively entertaining . . . Peasprout Chen is a future legend, indeed.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“An utter delight from start to finish . . . I love this book!” —Jonathan Auxier, New York Times–bestselling author
“For a rewarding and well-constructed plot in an uncommon setting—plus some effective genderqueer subversion at the end—this story can’t be beat.” —The Horn Book
