Mythology. Humor (Fiction.) Young Adult Fiction. Young Adult Literature. HTML:

The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes sixteen-year-old Genie's every waking thought. But when she discovers she's a celestial spirit who's powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered.

Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures Genie's outrageous transformationâ??sometimes gently, sometimes aggressivelyâ??as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell-spawn.

This epic YA debut draws from Chinese folklore, features a larger-than-life heroine, and perfectly balances the realities of Genie's grounded high school life with the absurd supernatural world she finds herself commanding.

Kicking off AAPI Heritage Month with another YA read! This was a fun take on the Monkey King legend, with our heroine maybe not playing the role you think she might. Genie Lo is a high schooler, just trying to keep her life in order when new student student Quentin Sun disrupts her everything.

I'm vaguely reminded of [b:Avalon High|187812|Avalon High|Meg Cabot|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1172542154s/187812.jpg|3186888] in that this is a high school retelling of a legend, and where the heroine doesn't play the role we think she does from legend.

Cute story, good potential beginning of a series (still got 99 more demons to deal with...) would read more in the future. ( )

The big "reveal" towards the end was predictable but it was still good escapist YA fantasy.

Awesome -- I love the originality of this idea -- I mean, finding out that you are a reincarnated weapon as a 16 year old girl is hilarious and inventive. Pulling off a story that makes sense around that idea? Great work. I also just loved that Genie is always quick to fight and encouraged to do so by Sun WuKong -- how many books will tell you to go with your strengths, when your strength is to have a quick temper and a quicker fist? Hardly any, I can tell you! Satisfying, and a great foil against the unremitting drudgery that is striving to win the admissions lotto. ( )

Cute, action-filled, light romance featuring a smart, funny Chinese-American teen girl, Genie Lo. It was laugh-out-loud funny at times with Chinese mythology as the driver of the action because Genie is the reincarnation of the Monkey King's weapon, Ruyi Jingu Bang, and she must help Quentin (his human-form name) rid the world of demons and something more. This was a free audiobook from AudioFile. The narrator was just ok. ( )

American Born Chinese meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer in this grounded supernatural YA mash-up.

The struggle to get into a top-tier college consumes 16-year-old Genie's every waking thought. But when she discovers she's a celestial spirit who's powerful enough to bash through the gates of heaven with her fists, her perfectionist existence is shattered. Enter Quentin, a transfer student from China whose tone-deaf assertiveness beguiles Genie to the brink of madness. Quentin nurtures Genie's bodacious transformation - sometimes gently, sometimes aggressively - as her sleepy suburb in the Bay Area comes under siege from hell spawn. ( )
