Shang-Chi and the Quest for Immortality by Victoria Ying

Ever felt like you don't see yourself in the stories you read? Check out Shang-Chi and the Quest for Immortality by Victoria Ying!

Every reader can find a book that reflects their unique experiences and identity. From tales of adventure to stories of friendship and discovery, there's a book out there for every young reader.

This month, check out Shang-Chi and the Quest for Immortality by Victoria Ying, where twelve-year-old Shang-Chi overhears that his father's powers may be waning and discovers an ancient scroll that might be the key to helping him get those powers back. Shang-Chi knows exactly what to do: for the first time in his life, he sneaks out of the palace and into the outside world, hoping to return with one of the legendary Peaches of Immortality to gift his father.

But the world beyond the palace is very different from everything Shang-Chi has been taught, especially a boy called Lu, who knows more about Zheng-Zu than he should. With his home and father's health on the line, Shang-Chi cannot fail in his quest - but does his father deserve to be saved?
