Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents Yoon Ha Lee's space opera about thirteen-year-old Min, who comes from a long line of fox spirits.
But yoüd never know it by looking at her. To keep the family safe, Min¿s mother insists that none of them use any fox-magic, such as Charm or shape-shifting. They must appear human at all times.
Min feels hemmed in by the household rules and resents the endless chores, the cousins who crowd her, and the aunties who judge her. She would like nothing more than to escape Jinju, her neglected, dust-ridden, and impoverished planet. She¿s counting the days until she can follow her older brother, Jun, into the Space Forces and see more of the Thousand Worlds.
When word arrives that Jun is suspected of leaving his post to go in search of the Dragon Pearl, Min knows that something is wrong. Jun would never desert his battle cruiser, even for a mystical object rumored to have tremendous power. She decides to run away to find him and clear his name.
Min¿s quest will have her meeting gamblers, pirates, and vengeful ghosts. It will involve deception, lies, and sabotage. She will be forced to use more fox-magic than ever before, and to rely on all of her cleverness and bravery. The outcome may not be what she had hoped, but it has the potential to exceed her wildest dreams.
This sci-fi adventure with the underpinnings of Korean mythology will transport you to a world far beyond your imagination.
Endorsed by Rick Riordan, author of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, soon to be a series on Disney+.

Modern sci-fi meets Korean folklore: a unique delight

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)
Lee seamlessly interweaves fantasy and science-fiction: a feat not many sci-fi authors manage to do with the same high-level result. Magic doesn’t seem out of place at all, instead it’s a very natural part of the story. In Dragon Pearl, you travel through space amongst mythical creatures from Korean folklore: fox spirits, goblins, dragons, ghosts and more reveal their unique abilities. Min, a fox spirit herself, travels through the universe to find her brother, unexpectedly meeting family and friends – never sure whom to trust. Highly enjoyable!
