(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Choong Yoon. California boy Xander Miyamoto discovers that he is the descendant of Japanese warriors charged with protecting the world from monsters--but will his mixed-race heritage be harmful or helpful to him? Small for a twelve-year-old and an artist, not an athlete, Xander wonders how he'll fare against the mythical-monsters-come-to-life in this fast-paced and original adventure based on Japanese mythology. Full-page illustrations included.
