In 2021 Canada, Miranda is more comfortable in Augmented Reality than in her traditional Chinese family. Tasked with breaking a century-old curse by their dying grandmother and their great-great-grandfather's avatar, Miranda and her dyslexic, hyperactive cousin must save their family with a seventeenth-century geomancer's compass. Hardy melds history, Chinese-Canadian culture, magic, and virtual realities in this fast-paced, unusual story.
