Rick Riordan Presents Pahua And The Soul Stealer

PRAISE FOR PAHUA AND THE SOUL STEALER

Winner of the 2022 Mythopoeic Fantasy Award for Children’s Literature!

“I love the adventures Pahua has in this book. I also love the sense of humor, the clever plotting, and the fantastic cast of characters. But most of all I love Pahua: her courage, her kindness, and her love for family.”
—Rick Riordan, New York Times #1 best-selling author of The Percy Jackson and the Olympians series

“Reminiscent of the magic and whimsy of Howl’s Moving Castle. An enchanting blend of humor and heart in an adventure that readers won’t soon forget.”
—Claribel A. Ortega, New York Times best-selling author of The Witchlings series

“I was happily, helplessly tangled up in the sparkling magic of Pahua’s story from the first line. She isn’t just courageous when it comes to fighting through beautiful, scary spirit worlds; she’s courageous enough to be her uniquely awesome self in this world, too. She makes you feel braver with every page turn, and that’s a special kind of magic.”
—Natalie Lloyd, New York Times best-selling author of A Snicker of Magic

“This book had me biting my nails and laughing out loud all at once. Lori M. Lee has woven a story of enchanting spirits, terrifying demons, and one fiercely courageous shaman warrior. Pahua is my new hero!”
—Christina Soontornvat, author of the Newbery Honor winner A Wish in the Dark

★ “This powerful story rooted in Southeast Asian mythology should be on all shelves for teens and tweens to find. Fantasy readers will love Pahua and look forward to her adventures.”
—School Library Journal (starred review)

“A classic, satisfying adventure tale packed with magical beings.”
—Kirkus Reviews
